I
am fortunate to have a friend in Central Oregon who is renting me a very
small cabin. I can bring the dogs, relax, re-energize and make plans
for A&S without interruptions.
You see... working
in my home has many benefits. It also has its downside – mostly that I
never stop working. With today's technology, an iPad, iPhone, lap top
are always within reach. So there is no such thing as technically "closing the office". Many times, a quick email read results in turning
on the main business computer to handle a request. And then three hours
later, I find myself still in the office. The answer is to physically
leave the house for an extended period, and a trip to the grocery store does
not count as down time!
But taking in the quaint surroundings of this cozy little cabin certainly does!
Sitting still long enough to make time for local friends... yup, that's taking it easy.
Soaking up the visual texture that Mother Earth provides for us everywhere we look... yeah, that kind of thing is good for the soul.
Even in winter this cozy cottage can surround me with serenity... not to mention snow! It's my little place to refresh, relax and recharge. What's yours?
