“Someone else is happy with less than what you have.” This could be a conversation I’m having with myself from fifteen years ago. If only I could. It amazes me how we evolve in such a short period of time. I mean, I’m not going to be around for billions of years. Though…when I do… Continue reading Someone Else Is Happy With Less Than What You Have

It Is Better To Walk Than Curse the Road
"It's okay if you want to quit, as long as you don't." - Melissa Arnot I had a short conversation today with a Facebook friend, talking about inspiration and determination. He’s a long distance hiker, training for a big trip. He gave me a quote that I really liked and it got me thinking about… Continue reading It Is Better To Walk Than Curse the Road

Some Rules Should Never Be Broken

Strange How the Universe Works…
~ This post was written in two sections, over a month apart.

I Read That Somewhere or: The Post I Wasn’t Going to Post Until I Posted It.
"Beware the barrenness of a busy life." - Socrates I’ve got to be honest; there seem to be a lot of “experts” out there.

I’ve been working on a project (for too long now!) and I’m agonizingly and frustratingly close to being finished. If I can stay focused. Which… Continue reading Salt Water Therapy
Hole in the Wall ~ A Micro-Adventure
Road Noise
I love taking walks. A deep wooded glen. Along a babbling stream, lazy as a summer afternoon. A stream from snow. High on a mountaintop. I love taking walks. On an alpine canyon ridge where the winter wind howls through the pine. The wind. From another land so far, far away. I like the sound.… Continue reading Road Noise
