{sweet berries}

Are you in as much disbelief as we are that it's the last day of August? This inspiration board, filled summer's sweet bounty, almost makes me wish for more long days of summer. As labor day approaches and my family anticipates the last sweet, peaceful weekend at our little lake house in the Tennessee/North Carolina mountain {no television, cell phone reception...heaven!}, I hope that you are also able to sit back or take a swing in a hammock today, this week, or over this long weekend.

Over the past few days, I am learning that being still means to trust. But be still!? And let life happen without doing something, anything? I urge you to find the peace I found this weekend, knowing that the act of not doing can sometimes be far more powerful that doing anything.

Happy Monday!
