I love recognising voice actors from one game in another game.
The voice of Randy Orlando from is also in
No Trespassing, Woodtick Trail Beecher Road crossing, Wolcott, Connecticut. November 25, 2017, 3:41 PM. The 30-odd nails they used probably contributed to the death of this tree.
And I am only now recognising the voice of Dogi in as also the voice of Mueller Vander in . I am slow.

Good day!
Water equals life. All that it touches glistens. Its music soothes.
When its near, and Im wrapped in the arms of the mountains and forests, I am whole, the rock beneath me the planets heart on the surface.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Yesterdays hike was rewarding but sad, too, because next year Ill have to find a way to leave these mountains.
I love the land. The state has become intolerable.
When we do the hard thing we dont want to do, our actions reward us.
Be everwell.

Good day!
I hiked, I climbed, I debated some difficult decisions. Mostly, though, I found peace in the outdoors.
Places of peace feed my strength.
8.5 miles (13.7k). It felt great. When I started, I could see my breath, but it warmed later.
I always wonder why I come back.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Its the cold predawn, but if I wait I can hike. I deserve it. I need it for my mental health, to shake off the heartache Im letting linger.
I need to move, to act, not cower before the anxiety wanting to awaken.
To save myself, I must DO.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Im walking each morning & editing, & also realizing that Im managing my self-care well.
Maybe more important is that Im not disparaging myself for taking the time.
Be kind to yourself, & dont punish yourself with guilt afterwards.

Good day!
*Note the arch.
I needed time away from the inevitable rants.
In a sense, Im in mourning.
Meanwhile, crazy me decided this was a good time to publish my first book. Im trying to work my way back to the drive I had before
Its working. Lucky me.

Good day!
Why must each fourth November mean crushing stress Im tired of it. I hope most other people are, too.
Yet, Ive done surprisingly well managing it this year.
Its supposed to be cold & maybe snowy tomorrow, but I might get away anyway.
Meaning, hike.

My busy week of errands has ended at last. Thatll help focus my mornings better.
