YaYa, theMAN and I went to see the new Disney movie: Zootopia. We were not the only ones with this grand idea of how to spend a wet and rainy Saturday night; the theater was PACKED and we had to sit down in front. And we arrived early.
The movie is really cute…and funny… and I highly recommend it to anyone (regardless of age). It is just good light-hearted fun.
You may even find yourself dancing in your seats.![IMG_2872[1]](https://keeping-pace.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IMG_28721-1024x768.jpg)
March Madness has different meaning in my world. It’s a month of getting by: enduring the final days before Winter turns to Spring.
And although California Winters have not be as wet and cold as Winters else where, March holds a different kind of darkness for us.
The other day, YaYa reminded me that not only did his father die in March; my own father died in March too.
YaYa asked, “Isn’t this the month I always seem to get really sick in?” I replied, “Yes, it is. But let’s try to make this year different.”
You almost didn’t notice him off to the side of the trailhead. For some odd reason, this guy in a white coat sort of blended into the landscape. He was painting the cement bridge at the entrance to the park. This picturesque scene, which greets us each weekend, is one that I never take for granted. I was happy to see him working to capture it.
In the short conversation with him, this aspiring artist said he wanted his painting to be in a style similar to the famous French painter, Jean Baptiste Camille Carot.
BoBo tried to register for Spring Quarter 1 day early. He showed up at a medical appointment a day early as well. In frustration, he sent me a text message complaining about Leap Day. “Why do they add a day to the calendar every 4 years? It’s stupid!,” he complained.
He wasn’t the only one confused by the day. I encountered plenty of people stumbling over the date.
How did your day go? Did you have trouble making the leap too?
There are several locks all around the abandoned barn that sits adjacent to the trailhead. This fence closure actually had three locks hanging from the rusty chain. Although picturesque, I wondered what purpose they were now serving.
The saying “lock the stable door after the horse has bolted” is one I hadn’t heard before.
Referring to the act of safe-guarding against something that has already occurred (such as quitting smoking after being diagnosed with cancer), it describes a lack of being proactive.
You might ask yourself: Are there preventative measures that you are putting off? Maybe it is time to stop procrastinating and take action.
