Watch your step

I was walking a trail the other day, and the footing was not good. The ground camouflage is deep and filled with traps. Each year I head out at this time I say, how bad can it be. Wet leaves covering tree roots and rocks and holes.

And anything slithering around underneath.

I’m guessing some would say it’s less than wise for an old man with a heavy camera. And they probably are right but I’m going to increase my outside walks with my better half. Were a good team of, we get there when we get there.

I think I’m going to look into walking sticks for us.

Have a good walk today.

Mondays recap

Should have, Could have

I should have gotten motivated Monday and gone on a hike again. Maybe I’ll make up for it with some shooting early this morning.

Quiet Again

I know more working people than retired like me. That means Monday is a bit more quiet than other days of the week.

Hopes

Sometimes I get my hopes up. I should know better at this age.

Dentist Time

Nothing wrong that I know of, just a cleaning/check-up tomorrow. I’m still getting used to my new dentist.

Young Artist

My granddaughter is excited and working on various arts. This makes me so happy and inspired to help her. I’m looking forward to her inspiring me. I need to think younger and without as many boundaries.

Alone

We’re more alone than we think we are. I’ve been good at deluding myself to this fact for a long time.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • Ice cream additions are sweet.
  • I don’t know why I’m amazed when I shouldn’t be, but I still am. It feels like were going through the motions when we shouldn’t be.
  • Made some progress on basement cleaning Monday.
  • I’m so tired of dealing with Verizon issues.
