When out on the trail this past weekend, theMAN and I noticed an influx of hikers. The last hurrah before everyone’s return to the office or school? Perhaps.
Or perhaps it was the ressies (a person who has made a resolution to get fit in the new year). Either way, greet them enthusiastically and make the trails a friendly place to be for all.
I asked for comments… but had no way to capture them. Fortunately, a couple of you emailed me about the issue.
Thank you.
I finally think I have it figured out. I had to update my blog themes.
I’ve not been doing too well with taking photos every day. At least not “good photos.” Nonetheless, I am making an effort to keep this project going and revive my blog from the dry spell it’s been experiencing.
Much like the drought in California. We’ve had several years of drought. My back lawn is completely gone and my front lawn was nearly dead when the rain started falling. It’s good… but the ground isn’t used to soaking up the moisture. I think it’s forgotten how.
This is how it looked today when I was out for a lunch time walk. The photo (taken with my iPhone through a hole in a chainlink fence) is altered using the painting option in the SuperPhoto app. It almost makes the photo interesting. Almost.
I promise I will get better at this.
Just the other day, I was nudging theMAN to post an update to his site. My encouragement was probably more critical than encouraging – although I honestly meant well. Although anytime he has posted to FB or other social media he has put forth a beautifully written piece which is awe-inspiring or informative, theMAN is his worst critic. Meanwhile, in my own effort to blog more actively, I have encountered my own set of challenges.
Writing is negatively affected when it is not practiced regularly! Although I put pen to paper on a daily basis to record observations made in my yoga practice, that sort of personal journaling does not benefit me here. It seems that I have lost my writing voice.
Please help me to bring it back.
My mom gave me this orchid for my birthday last week. I’m enjoying it a lot – since the three that I have at home haven’t bloomed in a LONG time.
