March 2nd Suntan

Yep... I have some sunglasses goggles this evening after my saunter in the woods today.  It was SOOOO beautiful that after I walked to the bookmobile (LOVE) I hit the trails at the local county park for a hike.  There were only a few out there like me.  I ran into 5 people total in 2 hours.  That's how I like it... getting in my tree time!

I had a moment here... beauty took me over...
Oh and I guess my sun time since I did get a tiny bit pink over my outing... :)  The sky was so darn blue - no clouds and the temp just wonderful for a nice hike in the woods sans hat even.  Ideal MN winter hiking weather.








The bridge on which I stand is the same bridge from one of my first posts that has the sign hanging down from it that says 'Danger' and has an arrow pointing down.  That cracks me up every time!  You can see the shadow of the sign that cracks me up here.  :)








And here's the bridge and the shadow.  It really is a cool walking bridge.  I just love this park!









These trees just look so soft and lovely!  I liked the image because it looked like a tree family picture... the adults in the back and the next generation in the front... One Big Happy Family of Pines. :)

I had no really memorable revelations today on the trail, but I did wholly enjoy the noises of nature: mostly silence.  I think I said 'Thank You' about 50 times.  And thank YOU for reading!  I'm off to figure out something for din din.... Thai yellow curry - VEG perhaps. :)

What Does Your Fun Look Like?

I was listening to an interview of Allison Armstrong yesterday.. she's a woman who's studied men for 20 years and how women can better relate to them.  She had an interesting topic:  "What does your fun look like?"  And she talked about it by illustrating how different 'types' respond to this scenario: A friend comes to you and tells you 'I'm learning Mandarin Chinese.' What's your response to this?  Mine was 'COOL'! :)  Which I later came to know was the response of an 'Enjoyer'. :)  Her other types were 'Builder', 'Sharer', 'Expresser', and 'Growers and Knowers'. A Builder would respond with something like 'Why would you be learning this?  When will you use it?'  An Enjoyer (me) would respond like 'Sounds like fun!'.  A Sharer would respond with something like 'With whom are you doing that?'.  An Expresser might respond: "What do you want to say in Mandarin?&qu

What do I want to BE? What do I want to DO?

 AH HA I just remembered you today - lovely blogita.   It seems I missed 2021 in my blog posts, but here we are in 2022 - so nice and even.  This year is going to have at least one post.  So here goes: Second day post-termination thoughts:  I have so much time!  I could start a project.  I could read The Brothers Karamazov as I have been meaning to do.  I could clean (you can always clean), but that may go against my newer found philosophy of 'It's Better Than it Was'.... which is doing some to mitigate the mess, but not worrying about perfection. I had an interview yesterday.  That was weird.... just the getting up and getting dressed and leaving the house for a work appointment.  I had fun.  I like people.  I got lost.  I talked to the ceiling/heaven.  I laughed.  I used a parable in my answer.  Gees... where did that come from?  Heaven maybe? :) Tis time to shower.... I'm a bit oiled up after a 90 min massage that cost $189.  That's bloated.  I felt like the ther

Cycle of Downturns - a Poem

I'm noticing for you because I can feel it. which is kind of the point, You can't. This is where I retreat. I am not here to do your work. What is the loving response? Only you know what's there to transform. This is cycle number three. No change has disrupted the relapse. You are not present. You have receded into hiding. Here I am telling you what you need to do. It feels icky and uneven. Perspectives can be so far apart. I know I can't remain. <3 EE
