This blog is actually an assignment for work. (Hard to believe that one, huh?)
We can write about anything, so of course, I feel compelled to write about things away from work!
Given the kind of work I do, being at a remote cabin is just about as far away from work as I can get! I don't have a cabin myself, but I do have wonderful family members willing to share their piece of 'slow down' tucked away in northeastern corner of Washington state.
Slow down.
Slow down means no electricity unless you have a flashlight, no indoor plumbing... (That really slows things down!) , no cabin heat unless you gather the wood. And no road in during snowy winter months... yep! During winter, you need to slowly access the cabin on foot - for about a mile's worth of walk or ski. And it's uphill - this helps in the winter, warms you up - since that cabin is cold when you first arrive!
Slow down means appreciating what you can do, and making 'make-do' an art form. This "roughest three in the west" provides unique challenges to the golf enthusiast!
Slowing down means there's time to work on a little inter-generational synchronized ("mirror") dancing for later public presentation at the campfire!
So much fun!
