Glen Spey, words that mean so little to so many people, but hold an immense significance to me, as well as my family. This house is my family on pause. It brings us together, it holds family artifacts, and decades of memories. Growing up and visiting means fishing on the dock, playing cards in the sunroom, and so much more. The peace and quiet that is experienced here is like no other. The overwhelming sense of serenity and freedom that is displayed here. The pond, constantly calm with the reflection of the trees on the water, the vast amount of trees surrounding this house, and the beautiful light that is displayed through the windows each morning. In our best attempt to escape the pandemic, we resorted to living here for the summer. These couple of months brought my family closer to one another, and let us be together. Distracting ourselves from the world around us, social media, and motivating us to unplug.
