December 9, 2016—Day 343 (WD 624)

Goodness and Light, Bright Universe! I awoke to clear skies and cold temperatures this morning; now, hazy clouds have filtered in, bringing a gentle snow.  Temperatures today will remain in the 20’s, with a wind chill in the teens. Yesterday was a challenge.  Part of...

Warmth and Light, Loving Universe! Snow and fog fill the valley this morning.  I’m sipping my hot coffee and cozying under a down blanket. The writing seems slow in coming, this morning. I’m struck that this is an example of a struggle I typically face.  Like the...

Right Here, Dear Loving Universe! It snowed overnight, but not much; and, now we’ve got a foggy overcast and warmer air blowing in from the south.  There’s not enough snow yet for snowshoeing.   We often tell ourselves we can’t go after what we want – because it...

December 6, 2016—Day 340 (WD 621)

Cheers, Abundant Universe! We received snow yesterday, here in the valley.  It began as I was writing yesterday morning, quickly sticking and making for a slick commute. It’s a lovely scene this morning – rooftops and evergreen branches coated with snow.  And, for...

December 5, 2016—Day 339 (WD 620)

Awaken, Grand Universe! Snow is supposed to be on its way here this morning, so that’s exciting!  I’m up early, and it’s still too dark to see the sky.  But, I’m hoping. I went to bed early, and I slept pretty well, but I am up early this morning, and I still feel...

December 4, 2016—Day 338 (WD 619)

Rise Up, Great Creator! I’m up this morning at 4:30 a.m., after a rather fitful sleep.  ODS is meeting this morning for training at our snowshoeing site, the grounds of the Montshire Museum.  After a couple hours of training outdoors, I’ll head to the store for the...

December 3, 2016—Day 337 (WD 618)

Magical, Great Creator! It’s another gray, overcast morning in the valley, and temperatures will remain in the 30’s throughout the day.  There’s some snow in the forecast for this week, but probably not before we train at our Outdoor Discovery Schools (ODS) snowshoe...

December 2, 2016—Day 336 (WD 617)

Alight, Amazing Creator! A broken sky, this morning; with sunlight and blue cracking through in spots.  Once again, there was a moment of brilliant illumination, with the undersides of clouds lit up in a heavenly bright red that faded quickly a minute or so later....

December 1, 2016—Day 335 (WD 616)

Good Morning, Dear Universe – It rained throughout the night.  It’s still overcast, but brightening, this morning, with a chance of scattered showers throughout the day. Yesterday’s posting mentioned turning downstream.  I’m thinking I should utilize that strategy...

November 30, 2016—Day 334 (WD 615)

Soulful Truth, Gentle Creator! There appears a deep, blue, glowing fog outside this morning.  Yesterday’s gloomy, rainy weather continued overnight and will linger through today, although the temperatures are predicted to warm up to the high 40’s.  We’ll see. I’m torn...
