I actually walked in falling snow yesterday, but its warmer this morning.
Another day, another chapter to edit. I also need to ponder this weeks blog post.

Cold, with periods of rain, but Ill walk.
A stranger asked, yesterday, if I had anything fun planned. I mentioned editing, which led to my book & she became excited. As I walked away, I could hear her repeating the title so she wouldnt forget.

Good day!
I cant begin to convey how rewarding it is when I have days where I sit down to edit & jSEE what needs fixed, as if the problems are highlighted.
Patience.
Thats how we learn. Patience for ourselves, for others. Is it a lost skill Too often I wonder

Good day!
Snow in the mountains, rain in the valley. This is the norm for this time of year, but it hasnt been for the last several years.
I hope that means a minimal fire season in late summer, but our smoke problems come from elsewhere.
Another chapter edited yesterday!

Good day!
My apologies, everyone. I forgot to add a picture yesterday. In a strange turn, I forgot because I was so focused on editing.
Given current events, my deep concentration this month is almost baffling me.
Maybe its a case of, what doesnt kill me immediately makes me stronger

Good day!
Ive excelled at determined patience. It helped survive childhood, make it through school as an adult, learn my craft, & draft an entire series.
Oh how I need it now.
I have a plan & need to see it through, not panic with each new sunrise. I need to believe in me.
Believe in you.
Be everwell.
the ridge of a mountain gives nonstop great views. This was my view when I snowshoed up to this ridge last month in the White , . Ive hiked long sections of this ridge in the past, but only went a short distance this time. So great to be up there!

Good day!
Cold. Rainy. It must be March.
Like strategically falling raindrops, my extensive editing chart is filling in. Its like visual encouragement.
We are who we are. Until we accept that, we cant make changes to reality. Find peace within to make peace grow.

Extra sleep I mustve needed it.

Good day!
By tonight Ill have passed the 50% mark on this edit. Im proud that I rallied this month & rediscovered my doggedness in the face of grim news & anxiety.
Im not going to let yet someone else ruin my life.
Ive also been in a fix-it mood, standing more at my desk, & considering trails.
Be everwell.
Went out for a walk along the Old Cedar Ave Bridge / Trail. Heres some birds.
