A railroad switch point on the tracks at the Golden Spike National Historic Park There is a lot I don't know. I don't know who will lead the United States for the next four years (at the time I'm composing this post, that hasn't been determined yet.) I don't know when covid cases will stop rising in my state and start decreasing. I don't know how challenging situations will turn out. There is much uncertainty in life. Living in limbo-land is hard. It's emotionally exhausting. It can be immobilizing. My body seems to think chocolate is the answer, but I know that isn't a long-term solution. What do I need in times like these? I need to REMEMBER . 1. R esilience. People are resilient. I am resilient. I'm thankful for resilience. 2. " E ach Life That Touches Ours for Good." So many people, both those I know in "real life," and those I have only met virtually, have taught me, encouraged me, and been examples to me. I'm thankful
Living life with a thankful heart

ReplyDeleteYou are Right!
DeleteWAIT! WAIT! WAIT! DID YOU GROW THE RASPBERRIES!? I remember that was an issue wasn't it!? Those look amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh, I wish. No, those are my parents' plants. I planted 2 raspberry plants this spring. One has leaves, one is dead. Whether or not the one produces fruit remains to be seen. Stay tuned.
DeleteThose raspberries do look beautiful -- and so does your redhead!
ReplyDeleteI love raspberries--and my redheaded boy!
Deletetrying the 'running' thing again (2 miles in the very early morning… naturally the whole reason I am interested is to see if I can reduce my time and, in the process, recover some cardiovascular capacity that seems to have slipped away in the past, I don't know, 15 or 20 years?)
ReplyDeleteYou will be able to do both, but my (unsolicited) advice is to start slow. Build up the cardiovascular capacity first, then work on slowly increasing the time. When I first started, I ran too fast (granted, it was still slow, but it was too fast for me), and found it too difficult.
DeleteI love raspberries and I also love running, probably the latter most of all.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing and good luck with the rest of the challenge :)
I'm a bit of a roller-coaster runner--some weeks I'm very consistent, other weeks I struggle to run. Hopefully I'll be able to become more disciplined in my efforts.
DeleteI love raspberry! The fruit, the color, the scent.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love redheads! Have one of my very own, although he tries to deny it (which is not possible).
One of the raspberry plants I planted this year is not dead yet. :-)
DeleteMy redhead has embraced his hair color, but when he was younger he did get annoyed with all the little old ladies who would tell him what "pretty" hair he had.
