Tree of Life
We are headed up to the log cabin tonight for a much needed getaway weekend. The hubby had a rough week at work (due in part to a criminally acting ex-employee) and if I told you what happened, you would be as outraged as me. So I am swooping my husband up and taking him to our log kingdom. I think the cabin will take away the stress. We will go snow shoeing and look up into the trees and appreciate their beauty. We will forget about bad people in the world and instead think about the good ones we know. We will breathe in the fresh air and look at all the miracles of life that surround us.

Nothing like heading to the great north of Michigan to escape the big city!! I did it for years, sometimes I headed up every weekend!
I am so glad you get to go! I like the way you worded that - forget about the bad people and think about the good ones you know! Focus on the positives - that always helps!! have fun!
I'm sorry he had to have a bad week. So many of us feel the wrath of "bad people" and it surely does get to you dosnt it? I'm beyond tired of people hurting people.
Have a great weekend and hopefully you will both be restored.
Oh Shelley! This is something to remember- too many bad things in this crazy world, but also the Beauty of Nature and of lovely people which sorround us!
Thank you!
Monica xo.
P.S. Thanks also for treating me with such nice words, dear Shelley!x.
It does sound like you need a break! Good for you, taking him away.
I hope you have a great weekend.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend filled with peace and relaxation.
Hi Shelley~
Sorry to hear that your hubby had a tough time at work...sounds like a little trip to your cabin in just what the doctor ordered. Have a wonderful time!♥ Love your pictures!
Oh! that sounds so good right now...I know that I need to go to camp myself...you have a beautiful blog and I love to see the snow...heart warming...Thanks
Have a great, restorative weekend!
enjoy your time there,I pray you both come back restored and refreshed
It seems to me that log cabin life would diminish most of the stresses of life. I wish you both a relaxing, renewing few days together. Love the pictures!!
Nature,...the "natural" de-stressor. Good for you, have a great weekend.
It's too bad that you need a getaway cabin, but it's wonderful that you have one. I hope it works its magic and that you both are encouraged and refreshed by your time at the cabin.
Oh I do pray for a stress free time for the both of you and look forward to seeing some photos!
Sometimes I wonder how people sleep at night...don't they realize that it takes less energy to be nice and polite than "mean"?
Glad you have the log cabin to go to and forget the world for the weekend:)

Nice pics, and even nicer sentiments. We're headed out this weekend also, and we're looking forward to the same - being at peace together and forgetting about drama for a few days. Have an awesome time!

Nothing like breathing in the fresh air.

You know Shelley, that sounds good. I need to get away with Kathy one of these days, away from all the looney tunes around us.
Have a great weekend and take lots of pics!
Hi,
Yep, I'm sure log cabin beauty will help him! =D The giveaway is going to turn out great, I know it.
Love, Joy =D
Shelley,
Hope you're having a good getaway this weekend & good weather. Spring is just around the corner! Interesting...the (Shaker) Tree of Life was always a very powerful symbol for me, personally. Very renewing and enlightening, and I can see why you had used that term for the title of this posting. :-)
Take care,
John
Your pictures are beautiful as usual. Sorry for the work related issues that your husband is having. A getaway weekend is always a good thing.

I'm glad you're able to go to the cabin this weekend, but sorry your husband had such a rough week. Nice pics. You've got me totally hooked on snowmancam, so I'm thinking maybe you should set one up so we can watch the wildlife at your cabin :-)
Marcia
I love snowshoeing! Gosh, I haven't been in year - so much fun!
Sounds like a great plan to get away to the cabin - that squirrell sure looks entertaining!
Have a wondeful relaxing weekend.
There is nothing like escaping into nature. I would rather live with the "wildlife" anyday!
