— This morning I’m going to ensconce myself on the couch with a stack of books and a couple of cats … I’m going to shut off my phone, close my computer … and I’m just going to read …
This is my island.
If I’m lucky, I see a cup of cocoa arriving in my near future.
Other than that, I’m just going to sit with my books, underline a bit here or there, think about my upcoming Quill & Camera course, and pet my cats.
This afternoon I’m going to grab my camera and my journal, and I’m going to head out for the Appalachian Trail.
I expect to put in a couple of hours hiking. An hour out, an hour back. Just to take in the woods and talk with some of the thru-hikers.
I’ll be thinking, of course. Running through ideas for things I want to create and how I can make them awesome. And to be sure, I’ll stop now and then to take a photo.
After that I simply plan to enjoy a small picnic near the trailhead … enjoy the sunlight and the trees … and sit writing in my journal for a time, recording the ideas I came up with along the hike …
It’s going to be a fine day.
And this one is mine.
I plan to savor every minute of it.
Life gives you only so many days. What will you do with yours?
