During the day its often a relatively busy place, but usually around dusk it becomes very peacefull. When I need a few moments away from the world I'll often go there to watch the sun set over the hills on the other side. The only time its more peacefully is at dawn, when even the ripples from the previous days boats have disappeared. I live within an easy bike ride of Chickamauga Lake on the Tennessee River.

Sure, the area I live in is somewhat small, and N.M. certainly does have its share of natural beauty and calm; unfortunately, you don't really get that where I'm at, despite the relatively small size of this town. One day I'd love to just get away to an area that's not quite so hustle and bustle, even if it were only for a day.

You... you ... iconoclast! *** What he said. Seriously. Nothing as glamorous as DHS, but I run an art glass studio in addition to writing. Top that off with family and ministry obligations, and I've realized time and time again, I'd better love writing and be committed to my stories, otherwise I'm just a poser. Or to quote Josh Billings: "Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing till it gets there." Good post Lee. Take Care. Adapt, Improvise, Overcome.

Nothing as glamorous as DHS, but I run an art glass studio in addition to writing. Top that off with family and ministry obligations, and I’ve realized time and time again, I’d better love writing and be committed to my stories, otherwise I’m just a poser.

Good post Lee.

Take Care.
