I took this picture a while ago just because it spoke to me. Doesn't matter to me that it was a screen saver. Sometimes it's the color combination that draws my eye, sometimes it's a travel dream, this time, it was just the overall picture.

Evening time - my hours changed but even so, not usually this late.  So yeah, the colors were cool. The sound of the water and resultant breeze is almost real.  Way off, it looks calm like the future if you can just get there.  The rocks look dangerous and who hasn't spent some time at work avoiding those things (or people) that can hurt you?  Those same deadly rocks also provide some protection.  You trudge a weary path of wondering if today is the day I'll misstep and get sucked in?

August hasn't been the best month.  There have been some highlights, one of which I'll share tomorrow. I was feeling pretty blue about the funeral and let's face it, a little mentally out of it. With Bluemans episodes and the maternal unit struggling, it's been hard. A beautiful note from a friend really perked me up though and made me realize how blessed I am in my friends.

It's really made me wonder if I need to keep picking my way through the dangerous "watch every step" areas or if it's time to sit down for a hot minute, listen to the sounds of Mother Nature and find a new place to spend my time.

Here's hoping a positive change comes to you today!
