It's All a Matter of Perspective

This past weekend, Patrick (my soup du jour) took me on a surprise get-away to Mendocino. We stayed at a quaint B&B with no TV, phone, or cell phone coverage. It was wonderful being cut off from the world. I was amazed at how easily I slipped into the "relax" mode when there were no other distractions available. It's so hard in this day to day hustle and bustle kind of world to really separate oneself from the stressors of life. I liked the fact that there was absolute quiet everywhere we turned. Even the weather was cooperative in that the storm that was scheduled to come never materialized. In its place were clear skies and a light breeze. Even the moon seemed to shine brighter than normal. I enjoyed the change of pace and I look forward to escaping from my hectic life more often in the future. :)

P.S. I felt so small amongst the redwoods.
