To me it sums in so few words the feeling I get when the winds of emotion stumble me into a cravas of lucidity or .... deliration :) hard to tell if it is either or both.<br /><br />Jeff CAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-11315985884452034052020-04-10T08:34:49.647-06:002020-04-10T08:34:49.647-06:00I'm told by some (most) of my female friends t...I'm told by some (most) of my female friends that they swear "never again" after the pain of giving birth...only to go on and have more babies. "You tend to forget, or at least minimize, suffering over time." I hope you can do that...and find the fortitude to "have another baby," so to speak. Perhaps next time you won't have to face all the weather obstacles thrown at you this year, and it will somehow be easier. It's easy and selfish for me to say because I'm not the one risking my life. I love reading about your trials in the wild...your joys and sorrows and the way you can find a glimmer of hope in the briefest interludes of beauty and aloneness. Thanks for finishing up this brazen adventure and expressing your soul.<br />mark Box Canyon Blog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032055509766739436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-5062273787346333712020-04-09T19:57:59.395-06:002020-04-09T19:57:59.395-06:00I as always appreciate your strength in being vuln...I as always appreciate your strength in being vulnerable and honest. It did make me reflect on a thing (not sure what else to call it) that has happened to me in the past... But first an admission, yes I am one of those people who often does leave things to the last. I work best, it appears, on some sort of deadline. AND there are times when I am procrastinating beyond what even I consider acceptable and then things change and what I was supposed to do, no longer is possible (not because I am late or lazy or distracted or not motivated, but simply not possible because of something out of my control). I have decided/learned not to get so anxious or judgemental about myself when these times happen and accept that someone or something is sending me a message.. like that time I did not make those reservations for the trip and the client cancelled or the time I just couldn't get it together to organize the ski trip and then the lodge burned down..oh well you get the picture...so not saying that you were getting a message from the universe about what was happening both weatherwise on the trail or externally, but well... anyway thanks Beat for the encouragement to Jill so we could continue our armchair adventureLori Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03914874278873350855noreply@blogger.com
