I'm feeling so recharged, so at peace with life, myself, and God. I think a large part of that has to do with being outside lately. Randomly, two weeks ago my sister and I decided our summers needed more camping. So she snagged a spot at Holland State Park Sunday through Thursday. I went out there Sunday afternoon and set up (alone, in the rain, with people staring at me. Less than desirable.) I worked all week, some of the week from the site, and she joined me Monday afternoon. That added boost of cooking outside every day, walking, the beach!, swimming, kayaking, fires -- filled me up. I love camping: for one, the memories I have are priceless. I love being outside. We had gorgeous weather. State parks are lovely but not ideal: I'm now craving a solo rustic camping experience. Perhaps Mid October?

| Our site! Quite nice and private. Brand new canopy, thanks Kell! |

| Beach: nothing better than quiet time with the waves, the sun, the sand. |
Today my team at work went on a grand kayaking adventure. It was a perfect morning for it: sunny and warm, but some crispness to the air. Kayaking is one of my very favorite things, and breaking out of the office and doing it with some people I love was a great workday morning.
Long weekend ahead: beach time, painting at home, kayaking, a massage, shopping and back to back Tiger games in Detroit. Its a good life.
