I got away this weekend to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. It always does my heart good to drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway and be surrounded by forests and views across miles and miles of mountains.
A change in scenery and a change in altitude can clear the head and breathe new life into a person. A change in altitude can create a change in attitude. Thatās what this weekendās trip to Asheville did for me.
A special cousin of mine who lives in California got married in Asheville on Saturday. It was my first opportunity to meet her husband, and I feel very good about this match. The wedding was beautiful and the associated festivities were wonderful. It was an honor and privilege to witness Melissa and Martyās exchanging of vows and their happiness and respect for one another.
Asheville is an eclectic city, rich in history and natural beauty. The change in scenery and altitude, along with the blessing of attending the wedding of two such special people, was just what I needed. Driving south on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and then taking US-276 by Looking Glass Falls was a perfect way to end the weekend.
I came home with my batteries recharged, ready to plunge back into my writing and playing the dulcimer.
Until my next blog post
