Taking a break from Daily Zenscape

I've decided to take a break from updating this blog. How long the break will be, I do not know. I've been realizing over the past several months that I don't like the stand-still that I feel whenever I'm updating this blog. And I want to change that. So I'm gonna take a break and figure things out to see what I can do in order to make this blog better and enjoyable for those that come to read it. I want it to have more substance than just a simple quote; what exactly is what I'm focusing on. So to my daily readers, be patient please as I work through this "writer's block" if you will. Thanks!

Daily Zen Quote - June 17, 2018

~ Brian Adams

Daily Zen Quote - June 16, 2018

~  Leonardo da Vinci
