This week, I am vacationing off the beaten path, traveling the slow road with the family through lower Michigan and across the bridge and finally ending up here:
I’m not entirely disconnected from technology, but distanced enough to keep me grounded in the moment, not caught up in what I’m missing. With that in mind, I doubt much writing will get done this week. It seems natural (and necessary) to let deadlines go, to rest a bit, to just be.
If the itch strikes, write. If not? Well, then….
For me, writing has always come out of living a fairly to-the-bone kind of life…being present to a lot of life. The writing has been really a byproduct of that. ~Alice Walker
Really lovely picture, Christi! Sometimes you’ve got to recharge the old batteries. And living in the moment is what fuels our writing. I’m glad you and the fam got a nice tour of my home-state’s lovely lakeshores on the way to your wonderful retreat and respite.
What a place to take a vacation. Wow. Happy relaxing….and maybe writing. 😉
