The Cabin

So here I start after an attempt to create my first entry failed over a month ago, I will now TRY AGAIN.  This post is about the cabin that is featured in the first part of my blog.  You see, it was my escape from reality for one week.  A solar powered, off the grid, bit of heaven nestled in Decorah Iowa.  No TV, no technology, nothing but pure sweet silence and an occasional animal snort.

People like me need this.  In a world in which we don't do well with at times, it is a perfect spot to decompress.  A place out in the middle of nowhere with only the person you love and coffee....Heaven

Heaven can only last so long unfortunately.  That was in January and almost eight months later I miss it more than I ever thought I could miss a place.  I keep wondering if I can ever recapture the feeling of complete contentment and relaxation that comes with knowing that there is no clocks, no deadlines, no lists, no obligations.  Only having to worry about water and fire.

Maybe it's time for a walk in the woods.
