Sittin' On The Dock of the Bay

Nothing helps relaxing like the power of water! Hearing the sounds of a river sliding down the banks of a local river or smelling the fishy shores of Lake Michigan is so relaxing for me. I know that might sound a bit weird that a smell of a fishy shoreline would be relaxing but it is because that is what I grew up with. I have lived most of my life in Michigan and cannot even think about not having water around me. Places like Tennessee or the Dakota's would not be a happy and relaxing place for me because there is not enough water around. Why even in places off the coasts like California would not work for me because at some spots there is not a watering hole around for miles. In Michigan, there is a large body of water no further than twenty minutes away. I love that I can drive twenty minutes and be at a relaxing location of water to soothe my frazzled nerves.
