Secret Spot

My family has been hitting the same lake for 20+ years now and I spent the last few days there. It was as beautiful as ever! Any of you that are currently self-employed, make sure you allow yourself some time off! It’s important! Also, there is no better creative inspiration than good old mother nature!

    So true…taking time to enjoy yourself is key. Looks like a wonderful place to escape.

    please flood the site with vacation photos! I am looking to go on a cross america road trip with little to no money and see where the wind takes me… I would love to stop at a place like this.

    Just look at the scenery behind you – wow! O__O

    You’re so right about those who are self-employed needing to take breaks! For 2 years I worked continuously without a single holiday (including weekends and public holidays) save for Christmas and Chinese New Year, thinking that I didn’t need one, and reminding myself that if I stopped working I would stop getting money, and that culminated into serious health issues. This year, I made sure to set aside 1 week for CNY, and took another 2 short breaks of several days each in June and July to allow myself space to “breathe”. It made a big difference.

    Btw you can always include your holiday snapshots as a link to a photo album located elsewhere, so those interested can still peruse. =)

    Man I would love to be on your vacation. I’m suppose to go to Rhode Island with my family, but I think we may be going to the Jersey shore instead. I’d rather go somewhere less of a tourist attraction.

      ya those kind of things are fun but i dont get the rest i need. if im gonna take a “vacation” i need to be able to lounge around somewhere really peaceful

    I go to college in a small town in Northern NY and I’ve been taking summer classes, but all summer I’ve spent time in the woods and swimming in waterfalls, it’s been really nice.

    I agree. We all need a break and Mother Nature is just the right place to do that. Too bad we can’t be away from work all the time. But at least one time can be so much if given the chance, right?
