I wake up in a chair next to the lake. A cool breeze stirs forest leaves gently. The smoky grey mountains on the horizon wink lazily in the sun’s rays.

The lake’s breeze teases my cheek while I look at this majestic scene with tired eyes. Life’s stresses and chasing deadlines took their toll. They drained me of energy and from enjoying nature’s bounty.

I’ve reached that point where I don’t care about myself or whether I live or die.

The sun’s dance on the waves whispers love, tranquillity, and energy.

Deep in me a spark of gratitude flickers faintly.
