These days it’s photography. When I look through the viewfinder the rest of the world falls away. I can narrow my focus literally and figuratively to the subject in front of me. Usually it’s nature or some aspect of the natural world.

Yes, walking in nature helps a lot, and photography helps, too. Any creative endeavor, even rehemming pants or making something special And yummy for dinner. Thanks for your thoughts! Happy summer.

And thanks for you post. They are always thought provoking (in a good way) and take me away from the moments worries. Enjoy your summer too.

This is beautiful, Laurel! Quiet reading in my study helps me recover. Sometimes it's a bike ride that really helps clear my brain.

I love the frayed flag metaphor. Literally prompted me to utter an appreciative, audible “ah” as I read it.

I believe taking time off is the only way to live successfully with another human being. Hopefully you’re both glad to see each other afterwards..
