Staying home for weeks makes me itch for adventure. For weeks I stay committed to routine housework, client work, outdoor landscape and gardening projects, and lawnmowers to repair and resell. In that time I forget what it’s like to socialize with my friends.

I enjoy most everything I do but at least every two months breaking away from the routine clears my mind so I can focus better when I return.

With photography friends, we discover new scenery and spend meaningful moments together traveling to different locations within a day or two.

Longer trips allow me to serve others with my talents and be refreshed emotionally and spiritually.
