Why do we feel that we always need to be active and busy?
How many times have I heard or said, “You’re wasting time.”

The beauty of summertime is when like slows down and what you have to do, can wait. Rest, reset, and restore. Peace.

Time on the lake must be rejuvenating. I confess to some jealousy.
(Unless there were mosquitoes…)
Best wishes, Pete.
