Moment of bliss #004

Lakes are good for the soul.

What is it that makes them so peaceful and serene? A place where you can just sit and dwell, unhindered by both the rush and the tedium of everyday life?

I feel like I can stare out into that watery space for hours on end, the wind in my face and the sun on my back, thinking of nothing and everything all at once.

There is nothing like a quiet morning/evening by a lake! Glad you had some blissful moments while away :)

I fully agree … sadly it’s another summer we’re not spending at our family’s cabin in Kenora. Miss the loons calling at night, sleeping in until who knows when, and (strangely) not showering everyday or hearing the phone ring. I don’t miss the outhouse or the black flies … but I would take those in a minute if I could be there now, swimming in that cool lake!

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here.

I've deactivated the commenting function as well as my contact form so if you want to get in touch, please drop me a line at quietfish@gmail.com. Thank you!
