It's Been a While

Greetings.  I have not posted in a while.  This may be short and sweet because my arm aches from an accident.  I say accident though, perhaps, it was simply a way of the Universe, my Higher-Self, letting me know to be more in-tune to my environment.  

Since my last entry I moved to Kansas and, as usual, it has been a wild learning ride.  It is like I went to an amusement park and, well, sometimes it was less than amusing.  But, I have done some things of note.  I started an online school, which I love.  I also bought a van as a project and have been getting help with it and working on it myself.  I begun unraveling a dream I had about a game and that has been fun too.  

The Kansas summer has been rolling by and the nights are getting a little cooler, enough to go without air-conditioning.  The weather of late has been quite beautiful actually: sunshine, cool mornings and nights, pleasant temperatures.  I have made some friends in yoga circles; chess circles; uke circles; I even went to a bridge group the other night.  I have met some folks through various work-related activities too.

I believe I will say goodnight for now.  It was great checking-in, and I would like to do more of this, what-we-call, writing.

I'm sitting in a North Carolina' McDonald's, close to Little Switzerland.  I've never been to Little Switzerland but it sounds interesting.   I was up on Roan Mountain last night.  I had a fire which helped to cook my mac and cheese and keep me warm.  It was a beast of a fire in that I got warm just keeping it going.  But once it was well underway it turned into a nice, slow-burning bed of coals. Yes, it was a cold night.  Fortunately I had my goose-down leaking bag from my 2003 AT thru-hike.  I do not think it is as warm as it used to be but with a double upper layer on and a single lower layer I stayed pretty warm.  My pillow which was a bag filled with rain pants and a quick drying towel was inadequate; so was my sleeping pad- a eighth of an inch pad that is only meant to go under a blow-up pad to keep from popping (My blow up popped a long time ago.)  I tossed and turned but finally fell into a long sleep.  The morning sun coming thr...

Hop One Foot

 Hello friends.  I think of all the great writers from the past encouraging me on.   I have this foot problem again.  A weak ankle; an ankle that is sore from driving which has finally succumbed to the ultimate slow down- broke, fractured.  Can't put weight on- we'll, it has only been two days and I can actually put a little weight on it. It happened when I was on a beam about 18 inches off the ground.  I was looking for my dogs and I kind-of tilted to one side, lost my balance, jumped and landed with my right foot twisting.  It hurt and I was down for the count.  It took about 1000 counts for me to actually get up and make my way to the car.   So my planned hiking trip turned into a camping trip which was really quite nice!   Fortunately, I can drive and still make money.  There is an interesting thing about making money and competitors.  Often my neighbor will kind-of brag about his day driving for Uber.  ...

Reflection of Heaven

There is a saying, "Time will tell".  It told.  Now here I am, in Greensboro, my two dogs and a cat, living life to the best of my ability.  Some things just don't work out, some do.  Time will tell. I have been enjoying my swims.  I can tell that my right shoulder is taxed because swimming upsets it.  I have to find balance and stretch it. Always the right side of my body: right foot, right shoulder, right forearm.  I think I need to adjust my thinking?  After all the left brain governs the right side of the body.  But its not all about the brain.  The brain is an organ.  The mind is consciousness.  What is my mind telling me I need to do?  How does the shoulder equate to my minds' telling?  Ease up.  Work out.  Stretch.  Be at peace.   It is hard to be at peace when you miss someone because your heart longs.  I guess I will just have to let it long so it has its way.  I wouldn't wa...
