View

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.

~ Edward Abbey

Recently Leslie and I visited the Blue Mountains. This was our view (until it got cloudy. Or dark. It was harder to see this view in the dark). I spent part of the day we were there writing. I realized that a view while working is a good thing. 

"Why?" you ask. I find you ask me that a lot.

Anyway, for me it gives me a chance to look up and see something beautiful. If I am struggling with writing or getting ready for class or some other project, I can look out and see that I am small (thus my problems are smaller). It is a moment to relax and breathe and appreciate the world around me.

Plus I think, "If I can just finish this work I can go out and play!!"
