Meditations
I feel like the summer is getting late, but I don’t know where the season went. I’m counting down the last few weekends of August and realizing that we won’t be climbing Long’s this year either. I don’t think we’re going to climb in Black Canyon either, which was my goal for this year. Classes are going to be starting soon, and I haven’t bagged a single 14er! I haven’t been mountain biking once! It’s already too late to rent the duckies and float the Poudre as we had been hoping.
I guess this year the priorities just got shifted. I do feel that I’ve made some very important progress in my most recently chosen career. I’m much nearer to finishing my masters thanks to all of the hard work I put in this summer. And for fun stuff, well, my crack climbing is better now than it was last summer, that’s for sure. I’ve explored places in ‘Voo that I’ve been wanting to check out for years now. And of course, the traveling this year has been fantastic.
I may not have been able to check off all of my goals for this summer, but I do feel stronger, somehow. Both mentally and physically. I feel more confidant in my place in Colorado, and more sure of the things and people I love. I suppose all I could ask for is to learn and grow a bit each season, and I think I’m doing great there.
Here’s a shot from one of my dog walks this week. Looks like we’re getting closer to sunrise-shooting-season.
It’s sunrise season now… if the dog jumps on you at 6 in the morning! Why does she only jump on me? She knows I’m weak and easily influenced.
Well, there wasn’t that much jumping this morning, was there? Quite the tired doggie last night. She slept through THREE snoozes of the alarm!
Another round of sunrises on me!
Love the meditations section. Goals are just that…goals. Not LAWS. If you don’t hit them, something else will take it’s place. And for you, my dear, the replacements have been as good or better than the goals. You’re living a beautiful life! Love it! xoxomom
