While growing up in the ’70s, the year 2000 seemed like science fiction and here it is 2023. The older you get, the more you realize those sci-fi books you read back in the day are more realistic fiction. It makes you wonder what’s to come but can’t dwell because you have to be in this moment of time.
I have dealt with my child having cancer, lost family members, and good friends to the big C. But in an unexpected twist in life, it became my turn. I struggled with deciding if I was ready to share this but I do believe in the power of prayer.
It’s been almost 3 months since I wrote a blog. When I last checked in, I was sharing stories from our two-week adventure through the national parks and the amazing beauty of the country we live in. I was almost done writing about my favorite hike when I stopped.
supposed to be a 12-hour drive, but it took 16. Because it was sooo long, I had my first attempt at taking the wheel. As luck would have it, this was about the time the wind started blowing furiously and stayed that way.
I woke up this morning with no intention of writing a blog. But as I was laying in bed I realized this would be my last chance for August! Yup – I have some great stuff going on and taking some time off.
A couple of weeks ago, I woke up at 4 am, and I could hear the birds chirping. I took a moment to listen. It was a welcome sound, and I had a happy thought … the sound of spring!
Welcome to 2021! A few months ago, I wrote about finding a healthy balance, but did I mention adding another adventure into an already hectic schedule? It wasn’t a plan then, but you just never know what is going to happen in life.
It has been a bit of a crazy week around my neck of the woods. Ten minutes away from where I live seems to be a ground zero for this damn virus. Sorry for the curse, but darn is not a strong enough adjective.
