It’s Monday.  I have a long list of things to accomplish, and at the top of that list is to write.

I have a deadline.  Again.

Oh, my.

Uh-oh.  I think I’m hyperventilating.

Before crossing anything off my list (pack up box for Post Office, find the sangria punch recipe, write 6 pages, call the bakery, email agent, wash the car, find that Kohls receipt, wash the kitchen floor, blah, blah, blah…) I needed to do one important thing.

So, coffee in hand, I headed down to the lake.

Good morning, town.

Good morning, beach.

Good morning, everyone.

I hope you’re taking a few minutes out of your busy Monday to enjoy your coffee and take a few deep breaths.

I feel better now.
