Today, simply put, was a shitty day. It was cold, misty, dark and foggy all day long. Every goofus who paraded through my office space irritated the hell out of me. People that I normally adore got on my nerves something fierce. It was a bad hair day from the second I got out of bed and my clothes didn't fit right. We all have days like this sometimes.

It was easy enough to persuade my mother to accompany me, as the weather was truly spectacular! The sky was intensely blue and the crisp, golden light shone on the last few remaining autumn leaves. Huge craggy mountain peaks surrounded our view, framing the sky and reflecting off the glassy smooth, frigid waters of the inlet. Alaska in it's Autumn glory is breathtakingly beautiful!

Wherever You Are
Home Is Where the Heart Is
