The view





This is the view from my bedroom "window" this morning. It is a fabulous morning with low humidity and temperatures in the mid 60's. We slept with a light blanket over us last night. I revel in this weather.

And my spirit revels in this place, on the water, with the beach close enough for a short row to get there. It is a sacred place to me--the site of a fierce Civil War battle and the site now of so much peace.

I reveled in dinner last night which was grilled blackened mahi-mahi, garlic couscous and panek paneer. Dessert was some blacberry cobbler pictured below.


I am happy to be back on the boat. And I am grateful for this beautiful day. It is a day to revel in life.

  5. gorgeous view! I can see how you find so much peace while out on your boat - with the views and the physical separation from the "real world" it must be like experiencing a taste of heaven.

  10. Your post today made me think that off all the places where there used to be war, there can be peace again. And so it is with me and my recovery, too. Thanks for sharing your peace.
