Grounded
Yesterday on our hike, we came across a thin trail offset from the original trail that wasn’t too obvious. What was obvious was the fact that I was going to take it and we weren’t disappointed. The trail led us…

Let’s Take This Outside
MissAdventure and I woke up this morning to take advantage of the gorgeous Autumn weather to take a hike at the Redbud Valley Preserve.
Have A Drink
I’ve always said that I am too young to drink coffee because growing up, only old people drank coffee. Now even children are doing it. My own child loves that Starbucks crap. I still don’t drink coffee and I’ll probably…
Now Is The Envy Of The Dead
“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away, and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well, and live broadly. You are alive and living now.…
Feel The Burn
Thoreau asked his diary on November 13, 1851, “Is not this a glorious time of year for your deep inward fires?” November is a great month to stoke those internal fires.
Retreat
In a little over a week I’ll be enjoying nine days off. So looking forward to this time of travel, food, fun and reflection. November is the perfect time to reflect, think and scheme for me and I intend to…

Plus & Minus
I wanted to lose 25 pounds this year. I only have 35 more to go.

11/11 GHR Check-In
This is the final month of the Groundhog Day Resolution system for 2019. This was the 11th annual attempt at creating life-long habits for myself. I’ve discovered that because of the after the end-of-year holidays I am not mentally or…
NANOBLOGMO
As promised, I’ve been writing almost daily during National Novel Writing Month (NANOWRIMO). But to be honest, most of it seems to be for the website.
Photography: A New Hope
A constant comment I hear among my photographer peers is that they feel like they’re in a creative pit. They’re bored and uninspired. And yes, let’s be honest, I have as well. Who hasn’t? I’ve found a few cures for…

Airplane Mode
I experimented today by going radio silent. No calls, texts or distractions. I even put my phone in my coat pocket and forgot about it. No regrets.
Count The Costs
“Most failures are one-time costs. Most regrets are recurring costs. The pain of inaction stings longer than the pain of incorrect action” - James Clear
