Happiness is described as being ephemeral, as one does not find it to be a permanent state, within the scope of human life.
Last night I bid farewell to the vineyard I have worked at for the past five years. They planned a fantastic send off for which I am extremely grateful. As I prepare to leave Virginia the day after tomorrow, I will take their laughter and kindness with me. Cheers guys!

East Coast VS West Coast
While waiting for a flight back east, I wandered into the Rouge Bar in Portland. While sipping on a wonderfully dark Rouge Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout, I stuck up a conversation with a lady heading home to Colorado. A mapper by trade for endangered wildlife and such, she was in town for a conference and began to reminisce about living and working this far west. As the conversation progressed she shared this bit of wisdom that I shall carry with me; “In the East, you live to work and in the West, you work to live.” I found this beautiful.
This may be my favorite thing today.

“Remember the first time you touched someone with the soul purpose of learning all of them. Touched them because the light was pretty on them and the dust in the sunlight danced the way your heart did.”
Next month is Oregon Wine Month! Support your local wine makers by taking a winery tour or buying a bottle of your favorite pinot!
