Piney Point Pier Bench

I rushed home this weekend so I could send a designer dress that I won on eBay to South Korea. That was my only mission and by 10:00 a. m. it was accomplished.

Although I have tons of projects at the house, I felt compelled to declared “mission accomplished,” perhaps as an excuse to do nothing more for the weekend. What a shame as we are in this perfect window of perfect weather.

Before leaving Philadelphia, I did manage to buy a interesting book from Amazon: The Practice of Contemplative Photography.

I think the stress from the previous weeks induced this kinda Zen Moment in me. All things are again on the table, including this self-destructive need (or want) to earn a living. Likely it will pass on Monday, but I sure hope it does not.
