Yesterday was a perfect day for winding down our week at the lake. It rained. It didn’t rain a little, it rained a bunch. All day, all night, in buckets. In Southern California, sometimes it doesn’t rain for eight months so I really miss days when you get an excuse to stay inside and do inside things. I also miss sitting on the porch, listening to the rain and letting the sound lull you into a semi-meditative state where you don’t have to work too hard to let your mind wander to what it really wants to think about. I’ve enjoyed the week at this lake and I’ve enjoyed writing about it and sharing my experience with all of you. However, I’ve had my fill and I’m ready to leave. Time to move on the the next phase of my marathon trip.

Each year, when I spend time on a lake, I leave with a little more clarity about what I would do differently if I really did win the lottery. So my task will be to refine my dream a little more with the information I’ve gained from this trip. How lucky am I to get to try out my dream before I really get the opportunity to go for it? You should be doing this too. It’s so much fun!

I received a note from a reader today that said, “I just realized, I have no earthly idea where the Adirondacks even are”. Here’s a link for your reading pleasure. I found my house on www.vrbo.com which I’ve mentioned before here. Email me if you decide to travel here and I’ll give you my tips on planning a great lake adventure. I like to vary my trips from fast paced to laid back. The Adirondacks are definitely a place where a Six Figure Mom could kick back, relax and reengineer a few things in her life while taking in some great scenery. What are you waiting for?
