| Sunset at Cape Alava - 3 day backpacking trip. Those of you who are Twilight fans, this is just north of La Push, northwest of Forks. We got one of the rare clear, sunny days there. It's such a privilege to be able to get out and enjoy the beauty of nature. We were visited by a family of 6 raccoons, heard a pack of coyotes, had a chipmunk try to steal our sandwich and a Momma deer and her fawn came strolling through our camp. We were lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves and the sea lions barking on the island and wakened by the seabirds.
I'd like to encourage each of you to find that activity that feeds your soul and recharges you. For me, it's getting outside, away from the crowds where I can think and be inspired by the beauty of nature. I'd love for you to leave me a comment. What is it for you?

For me, recharging means staying home! Probably because my busy family is at the age where we are always on the go... I love to be home when the house is quiet and I can curl up with a good book and maybe even a favorite movie.
