A Day Off

A rare thing for me is a day off from editing or snapping portraits of beautiful smiles, but I actually took a day off yesterday and enjoyed a picnic with my Husband at the lake!  This is just simply one of my favorite places we enjoy.  I walk around the water, it helps me slow down and breathe enjoying each little part of our earth that God created for us.

Even though I was taking the "day off", I still carried my camera and enjoyed snapping some gorgeous fall shots.  The leaves of red, yellow and orange are simply radiant, so vivid you can't miss them!  The water was clear, blue, calm and inviting.

After we ate our lunch we were walking and Chuck enjoyed skipping rocks.  The water was simply perfect for it!  It was nice to see him relax too as he works all the time.  He had painted some touchup areas in our home before this plus had clients to attend to as well.  He is always busy, always helping others or working.

A "day off" is something everyone needs to enjoy. This day included some quiet time, walking, nature, fun, but also cleaning out cabinets, throwing out old paperwork, decluttering if you will.  There is much more to do and I don't mind doing those tasks if I can take a break at the lake!

Get out yourself and enjoy some of the beauty around you.  Some people say stop and smell the roses, but my Dad and I like to say we are going to go out and "count the cattle"!
