Homesick

"I come home to my solitary woodland walk as the homesick go home.
I thus dispose of the superfluous and see things as they are,
grand and beautiful."

- Henry David Thoreau

I love Thoreau, Shelley... I'm sure you are 'homesick' to see that precious little cabin. You will get there soon---and it will be there all smiley and ready for your company. In the meantime, just get WELL.
Hugs,
Betsy

Your music is so beautiful and goes so well with your blog very melodically.

Walking in the woods, amid Mother Nature's gifts is always good medicine. My best decisions have been made when I've been alone in the woods. It is snowing lightly here in the Adirondacks, if not for the icy footing underneath this little bit of powder, I'd follow my "homesick" feelings and be out in the woods today. I hope you are feeling better!

That's such an inviting little cottage! Goes well with the Thoreau quote and the Enya!!

Shelley said...

Rambling - thanks!

Nonna - snow is definitely the frosting on the cake - lol.

Leedra - this is someone's cabin that's on a neighboring lake. We live in a brick bungalow downstate which we are now trying to sell.

Thoreau was definitely a master of experiencing the Moment.

Northern Michigan looks very beautiful and peaceful in these woods.

Happy New Year, Shelley. Sorry to hear you're not up to par. Love the picture of that cabin. I'll bet the people who own it are lovely folks.

We've left our cabin and are in So. Carolina now. It's 65 degrees and it's not even 8 AM. When I look at yours and Cedar's pictures I'm already homesick, even though I seem to remember that I was already complaining about the snow!

Is this your cabin? It is just gorgeous. It reminds me of some country Christmas story. Great photo.

Shelley said...

Hi Melissa - this isn't my cabin - but the cabin on the right sidebar of my blog is. :)
