Do Something You Like

“If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.” – John Irving

I try to take the time to do things I enjoy daily. I enjoy writing, and that’s why I try to write and post something everything day. For me, writing helps me clear my mind. I love taking pictures, so I try to get out and take photos as often as I can. I usually go out on my bike with my camera about every couple of weeks depending on what is going on and the weather. By taking time to do things that I enjoy, it helps me unwind and clear my thoughts. We all need something to help us regain our focus for the challenges ahead.

I took these photos a couple of years ago at Jordan Lake near Raleigh, North Carolina. This was our first camping trip in a few years at the time. One evening the kids and I went to hike along the shore so I could get a shot of the sunset over the lake. I couldn’t stay as long as I needed to, but I was still able to capture these photos in the moment.
