Blog anniversary (not) in GNP, home

i have no idea how an impossible 2009 April Fools Day, 100-day self-imposed writer’s bootcamp challenge morphed into the start of a 16th consecutive year in 2024.

It’s not impossible that i write five daily, differently-themed blog posts until the day i die.

Not Back to Glacier, home

Looking up at a bird on a wire
The blessing of sight. The blessing of a flexible neck. The blessing of curiosity. The blessing of presence. The blessing of appreciation. The blessing of symbiosis. The blessings of gratitude and surrender. Photo: Spring 2023, looking up at a Cardinal during a morning walk. Cardinals are generally skittish. To be directly beneath one is rare. i enjoyed it so much, the photo was taken as proof of that present moment.

If i started writing a list of all the things i’m grateful for, it would never be finished.

Hearing the Cardinal’s ‘singing’ got my attention. Expecting the Cardinal to fly away, imagine the surprise standing underneath it while it continued it’s chirping.

Drive to Airport, fly home, home

We immediately got to work on watering thirsty plants.
Crazy how you can be in two distant places on the same day.

What you fear becomes your limit.

Hike up to Granite, home

Mountain Chalet lobby
Too cold, too windy, too cloudy to hike with joy and comfort.
Mountain Chalet room
In bed before 7:00 PM. It was the only way to combat the dropping temps. There is no heat.
Mountain chalet at night
10:00 PM bathroom run.

Be prepared. Enjoy it. Be grateful for your excellent habits.
