I do not fancy myself an outdoorsy kind of gal. 

I like to read, write, and take pictures  and most of that I do from the comfort of indoors. I live in a stunningly gorgeous state and when I do venture outside I’m always mesmerized by the beauty of where I call home. I often ask myself why I don’t get out and explore more often and then I remember quickly that I’m afraid of critters, ax murderers, and my own shadow and go back to reading my book safely on my couch. 

This morning I woke up feeling a bit cranky from staying out too late last night celebrating, receiving news that the toilet at my studio overflowed and flooded my party room, customer complaints, and a bottomless hamper of laundry. 

I decided to throw on my kicks and go for a walk. What the what??? I know! 

It was a chilly fall day but the sun was shining and I was determined to get out of my own funk. The crisp air was phenomenal and just what I needed. I adore this time of year! I went to my favorite hiking spot close to home and enjoyed a little bit of fresh air and peace and quiet. I tell ya, it was just what the doctor ordered…and now back to overflowing toilets, oh boy!
