Buttermere

Gorgeous lake Buttermere, 

comfortably nestled in the heart of the Lake District.

Honestly, I have no idea who names these lakes,

I mean, Windermere? 

Really? 

And Ullswater? 

Seriously?

Still, they are beautiful.

Whoever said that the Lake District is "God's Country" is...

 completely right.

Ain't it a sight?

You can take the hiking trail all the way around this lake,

and I dare your blood pressure to calm down.

It's the kind of place you wish you lived,

the kind of place you would always be inspired.

Contented.

Spoiled.

Creative.

And yet -

While you might never get tired 

of its sweet placidity,

of its impressive grandiosity,

you might not be appreciative 

of what you might have ALREADY. 

I mean, sure, you can go on awesome vacations,

to amazing locations and serene lakes.

BUT what about the place you're already at?

Isn't inspiring in itself?

I find that when I'm contented,

a lot of the time it's not where.

It's with "whom".

It's doing "what".

When I'm doing something fulfilling with people who matter,

now that's the heart issue.
