Imagine this place. You are in a beautiful paradise. Looking straight ahead, all you see is blue. The shiny, blue lake reflecting the clear sky, and the mountains caressing the edges of the big pool. As you dig your toes into the rough sand beneath you, you feel the warmth of the tiny rocks hugging your feet. The cool breeze brushes your hair off your shoulder as you lift your head up to the sky. Quiet and tranquility overcomes you as you start to drift off into a light slumber. Once every year, this is my escape. Just as you are about to take a nap on the warm sand, you are suddenly overwhelmed and shaken by a loud revving sound. You sit up, and notice a water skier passing by. It is a small girl, looking fully concentrated on her balance as she is being pulled behind the boat. Also you notice a speed boat in the distance, a big blown up floatation device kids are jumping on, and a couple of sea-doo’s rushing by as well. The lake is occupied and shared by so many people because there are so many residential lake houses around here. Sometimes I feel that it could get too crowded if everyone had their boat out for the day. As you get lost in your own thoughts, you get distracted by how stunning the view is. Admiring and taking in the beautiful scene, you close your eyes and ask yourself one thing: “Why don’t I live here?”
