When Winter Comes

There’s a chill in the air, a crisp and cool kiss to the skin. Enough chill to nudge all of your body and senses awake without needing caffeine. The leaves are hanging on some shifting to orange unsure of whether they will give us a Fall show this year or if all at once they

Hometown Beauty

Taken well below the peak of my parents home. Her view is even more breathtaking. Sunsets there rival any I have seen glorified and publicized over the years. I never realized how special it was to see those sunsets every afternoon. The sunrise is nothing to sneeze at either. From her house the foggy mornings

Mountain Magic

I was sleeping well until a neighbor let their dog out and it had a close encounter with a skunk. The open bedroom window meant for fresh air became not so fresh. It’s getting that time of year where the evening breeze is just the right amount of cool. I love the fresh air, I

Optimism ADHD Gratitude

Small steps are better than no steps. It was brought to my attention that I likely have ADHD and it makes sense. So much sense. I never realized that people didn’t all have content thoughts and impulses. It was first mentioned in class that I get bored easily and then I start cleaning. I get

What In The Weird World?

Have you ever had a day full of rainbows and waterfalls, and supernatural? It’s definitely abnormal. From a waterfall to a sunset like I have never seen. It felt like magic as if I were a character in a book, who had ended up in a fairytale, not unlike Alice in her wonderland. There was

Nature’s Beauty And Healing

Star-filled night skies are the best. Off away from the noise and chaos of the day-to-day. The lullaby of crickets and frogs. A break from the constraints of time and the rush, rush, rush, we end up in more than not. What all can we cram into one day? We pressure ourselves to the point

Whoa, Holy Pollen Batman

Isn’t she lovely? I took a small stroll on the Creeper Trail, hoping I would feel better in the fresh air and nature. The allergies sure are rough this year. Why go outside then? Well, I’ve tried everything else why not fight fire with fire. Yeah, nope, not a solid plan. It hit around 90°

What Kind Of Fever Dream

Sickly today and having just had my first vaccine, I laid down to sleep off the migraine. I was transported to a dream I can only describe as Matrix meets the Truman Show. My first tip-off in this dream trying to alert me it was a dream should have been that the location I was

Off The Beaten Path

I was born off the beaten path back in 1981. Yes, I was born in a hospital, but then I was taken home to an old log cabin that had been built by my family all the way back to the 1700s. It stayed in liveable shape until more recent years and it is now

Tell Me To Take A Hike

Why don’t you go take a hike! Hehe, okay. Am I supposed to be offended by that? Shoot Yeah, I’ll gladly take a hike. Far away off into the woods, off the beaten path even. You go right on with your grouchy self, I’ll find wonders and sights unseen. I’ll find hidden treasures and gems
