by Craig Zabransky on February 13, 2014 in Beach
Okay, let’s play word association. Say the first word that comes to your mind when you hear (or read) the following word. Are you ready to play? The word: Lake. Lake So, what did you say? Mountains?

I tend to find these majestic moments while watching the sunset. In those moments, I take the time to appreciate the day, to listen. Such moments occur for each of […]
