The cottage is a place of reflection for me. A place where I think about my life and about where I want it to go next. I am feeling the need to simplify these days....I have found so much in the last year that I want to spend time on (writing, photography, two blogs, my new job, and so on), but I am feeling stretched a little thin trying to keep up with everything. I will spend some time at the cottage thinking about this concept of simplicity, about what the next chapter of my life story will be, about who I am.
When I return in August it will be almost one year to the day (August 12th, 2008) that I was laid off from my previous job. And this, without a doubt, has been the best year of my life so far. My August 12th post here on Finding Sirius will be in honour of that year long journey. A journey that I began at low point in my life when I was lost and unsure. A journey that I began by following a dog...and my heart.

Crossing my fingers that simplification doesn't mean discontinuing one of your blogs!
Have a relaxing time at the lake, I can tell you feel stretched thin..since it was ten days inbetween your posts. So relax and enjoy Sophie and Elora too..:)
Have a wonderful time! Somehow, going to places we love, surrounded by the serenity of water, forest and endless sky is all the peace needed when things swirling in our lives and heads need to be calmed.
I am sure you will have a great time.
Oh dear, sweet friend. Have a wonderful time - all of you. Can't wait to see the photos. :)
Andrea,
What an awesome post...I hope you enjoy your much deserved vacation. I look forward to reading about your journey, and I am happy that this has been a wonderful year for you. Best wishes and here's to a little bit of simplicity : )
Have a wonderful, restful, trip.
A little late weighing in here...doing a little relaxing myself. Your cottage sounds like an idyllic place and one where every member of the family can find something that replenishes their soul. Enjoy this time of relaxation and reflection. I'm looking forward to your return.
Just thinking about you and wanting you to know I hope you're having a wonderful time! You probably won't see this but it makes ME feel better! lol And it's all about ME you know.
That's one post I'm really looking forward to reading!
Have a great vacation!
I hope you are enjoying a peaceful and relaxing vacation.
It helps to get away from the daily routine to help refocus every once in awhile. I think we all take on more than we realize and start to stretch ourselves too thin. I, too, hope the blog remains among your priorities, Andrea. You bring so much to the table here.
Hope you're having a super time.
