Nature’s Gifts

A sunny Saturday morning greeted us in the amber woods of Georgia's Red Top Mountain State Park. Richly colored leaves under a November sun soothed our souls and warmed our hearts. Clichés are important here. And so is a good night's sleep.

Friday was a tedious day on the road. We broke tradition and drove way too long. Little annoyances became big frustrations as we set up camp and prepared dinner. A hissy fit ensued. Fatigued and stressed, there was little comfort from the beautiful surroundings of a private campsite overlooking the lake last night. Luckily, it's becoming an increasingly rare occurrence when gratitude doesn't triumph over attitude.
