This is our deck in the backyard. This is my refuge. This is where I go to get a respite from the world. The lights are left over from Christmas but I think they're staying because Marshall has plans to put lights in the nearby trees too. Last Friday we grilled for the first time this year and burned the garland and Christmas tree in a huge bon fire. I got the Rebel out and took a few shots while Marshall tended to the grilling. I had no idea how frustrated, frazzled, stressed and stretched too thin I was feeling until that moment when I sat down to watched the fire. I was literally holding my breathe and began to notice each slow inspiration and expiration. Didn't take long for the general uneasy to melt away though. Of course, having a camera in my hand is amazing therapy in itself!
Count your blessings everyday and every night. I do - hope you do the same. Thanks for stopping by!

I like this - your refuge looks wonderful, enjoy it. Grilling something tonight sounds good, think I'll run out to the store.

It is amazing how quickly and easily things catch up to us. This is a wonderful place to sit and listen to the quiet.
