Relaxation, transition and pity party...
I worked this past week in tricities and stayed with a long time friend and it was so great to visit with her and her sweet daughter, who is 8 and 1 inch shorter than me, ha. Then for the weekend I checked into a cabin at Roan Mountain State park with my 1/2 off state discount (what a great benefit!). It was so relaxing and it's so beautiful there. I would love to camp there sometime, but it is first come first serve and I would hate to drive 3 hrs to not get a riverside site. I am self admitting waterside camping snob! I would rather be on the river than coveting my neighbor with the spot I wish I had. I would definitely recommend going to this park for a weekend stay or a hike.Then yesterday in a very careless and clumsy manner put my ipod in my pocket and it dropped onto Henley street (downtown knox) when I was walking in the crosswalk for work. It is demolished. I have loved my ipod, and gifted it to myself with my income tax refund. But I clearly don't deserve such a nice toy if I'm going to act like such an idiot with it. I shouldn't be attached to material things anyway, so this a good lesson about responsibility and things that aren't important. A nice aspect of it, was that I was reading/listening to books on it and one was the bible and that was helping my goal of reading it from front to back this year. But I have several 'real' copies... :)
Hope this finds you all well, love, love,
