My "Go To" Spot

I am a bit "ahead" of my usual blogging schedule (ha, bet ya didn't even know I HAD one...lol!), mainly because my reality of this week will be only 3 days long, as we are heading to magical Maui early Thursday morning,
so I will then be on "island time" for the next 14 days! (ie: no schedule whatsoever, blogging or otherwise!)

So today I am sharing my photographs for the prompt
for week 40 of the 52 Photos Project:
"Where is your go to spot to renew your spirit?"

This was a bit difficult for me, only because there are several places that I turn to for inspiration, relaxation, rejuvination, connection with my
inner voice and renewal of my spirit, including...
the beautiful nearby beaches, the shelter of my mans loving embrace, 
the solitude of my bed to slumber, the sanctuary of my garage art studio,
the warm soft blanket of unconditional love via my 3 doggies,
the soothing world of my favorite calming music, & within the encouragment and inspiration of the many online circles, blogs,
and share sites I am part of...

but I decided to share images of the one special spot that I turn to most often, usually at least a few times a week...

the comfy coziness of an oversized chair
which sits in the bay window
of our bistro,
overlooking
our beautiful yard,
with its abundance of flora and fauna,
an ever-changing waterfall garden pond,
and the majestic trees of the woods surrounding our house...

The blessing of just being able to look out my window to help renew my spirit when I feel the need, is just one of the many reasons I am:

Happy Me-Laurie Z!
