Personally, I have always felt very content sitting in our back yard watching leaves in the breeze,

Me and you must be similar. I love going to my backyard at our little Cabana and just love to Reflect while listening to the birds and looking up at the blue sky.

I definitely think at heart have always been someone who loves tranquility and just being "idle" and observing the World around me.

Don't get me wrong !! Of course I do work but Iam NOT one of those guys who is a busy body around the house, tiinkering here and there.

Not at all. I get my work done and then sit outside and have a beer :)
