creativity and rest

I'd say something like, "I'm taking a few days off to relax" or "I'm on short vacation" but that doesn't quite do it justice. Maybe this picture is worth a thousand words (photo taken by fabulous Karen of Chookooloonks).

What joy in your face! You are stunning.
It is so rare that we have great pictures of us as adults - what a treasure.

I love how you have the camera strap around your neck and yet for once someone else is taking the pictures.

Enjoy the rest of your trip.

PS - Is that THE shirt? Worth every penny.
