Logged off

I have been logged off for five weeks!  Would you dare?  I have had no internet or tv or radio except for the rare moments while visiting my parents when I checked in for a few minutes to answer my e-mails and phone messages for work.  My world has been peaceful and quiet. There were no wars or floods or earthquakes in my neighborhood and no random killings or murders. There was harmony and peace. I worked on maintaining a small cottage in Norway and visited with friends and family.  I went fishing with my Dad and had coffee with my Mom. I went to a wedding. I climbed to one of the 100 most beautiful places on Earth according to LIFE magazine. The world moved on anyway - I know - but I wasn't exposed to it and for a moment in time every year I try to find this peace. It is wonderful! Today is first day of school and back to reality but every week I will try to look for Sea Glass Memories that help focus my thoughts on the small things in life that bring joy.
