@Tana – exactly. I am probably the toughest boss I could ever possibly have (I’m not like that for people who’ve worked for me – I think/hope! But for myself.) Now is the time to be outside. So gorgeous.

@Camille- ooh, intriguing! I recall the line in that song Strawberry Wine: “Is it really him or the loss of my innocence I’ve been missing so much?” Hard to separate the person from the place/time/phase of life 🙂

Years ago I dated a guy who had a home in Cape May. LOVED our time away. Running on the beaches, riding bikes everywhere, etc. Once winter came, i realized I loved Cape May more than him… ha ha!

I wish I wasn’t chained to my desk right now (I guess that’s why I’m reading your blog 🙂 ).

I think we can find all kinds of ways to guilt ourselves like that!

I feel guilty whenever I break out and do something fun. Last week we went to Indian Cave State Park in Nebraska to see the fall colors. We went on a weekday so even though the colors were great, the people were few. It was fabulous! Getting outside in nature is such a cleansing thing for me. It is always so worth it. I should do it more.
