My family and I returned from a week’s vacation in Lake Tahoe California a while ago. Let me just say that it is a beautiful place to spend some time!
The lake is beautiful with multiple colors depending on the depth. Including one of the deepest, clearest blues I’ve seen on any lake. Also, I love the majestic trees all around, and smaller lakes within 5 to 20 minutes of Lake Tahoe and some really nice waterfalls on top of it all.
During our time there I realized a few things.
First, There are absolutely beautiful places throughout the world. There are so many places I haven’t seen yet but I’ve seen a few and there is beauty to be found anywhere. If we we’re willing to see it.
Second, it is soooo important to let ourselves play and have fun. It was good vacation but I still found myself not completely letting go. Really enjoying myself for longer than a few minutes. One day, everybody was either off doing something else or resting and I had really wanted to go mountain biking and spend more time at the beach. So, I did. I hopped on my bike and followed the bike paths towards the beach til there is a small turn off to take the dirt trails that are close to the main paved trail that leads down to Pope Beach close to where we were on the sounth end. It was a great trail. Not too dificult, fun turns and small bumps, winding through trees away from the main traffic and people. (If you don’t like mountain biking you would probably enjoy walking this trail.)
And some other things I learned…
If you want peace and joy in your life, it is possible. Look for it and accept the possibilities into your life. (Find a way to make it happen. )
It’s fine to do some things alone and great to do them with others.
There are joy and challenges wherever we go. Depends on our focus, sometimes unconscious, as to what we get most often.
