“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

Blog #2
When thinking of beauty that may be seen as "picturesque" I think of my home. My house may not come across as beautiful to all viewers, but to me, it is wonderful. I see gardens, woods, flowers, and life. When I view my home, I see not only the color or detail of the exterior, but I see the hard work, time, and dedication that it took from my parents to be able to make this house a home for my family. When I see this house, I feel appreciation and gratitude for being so lucky to live here. I not only see the many memories of the past, but I also see the many years of happy memories to be made with my family.
