Reflections in the San Juan's
Seeing the movie Project Hail Mary at our little movie theater
For the first time in forever, when I woke up in the middle of the night, I immediately had happy thoughts. My mind went to Rocky and Grace and their kindness and connection which is the heart and soul of the story Project Hail Mary.
Time passes more quickly than ever imagined
Most likely, somewhere in your 40’s
You have lived more years than you have left….
Are you going to let time slip by –
Or
Are you going to spend it deliberately

“I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.”
Rabindranath Tagore
My friend and poet Catherine Coats shared this perfect quote in our writing community this afternoon.
Life is quite the trip…I finally got a blog post out after 6 months because the last 6 months had been too sad…we can’t compare our journey to anyone else’s but there is grace, smiles, beauty in nature, accomplishments with our work and meaningful connections to make with people and canine companions!
The enchanted moment, where the ice crystals sparkle in the early morning sunlight, can’t be captured in a photograph and the peacefulness is just as breathtaking. The world is too noisy and busy and moments like this are magical.

La Sainte-Chapelle
Construction began sometime after 1238 and the chapel was consecrated on 26 April 1248. The Sainte-Chapelle is considered among the highest achievements of the Rayonnant period of Gothic architecture.
There are so many beautiful nearby hikes.
I appreciate that we can easily make a change to our daily
and weekly routine with an early morning hike and sometimes
a picnic as well.
We enjoy living in the mountains!
Hiking makes me feel so alive!
Life since I last posted in April:
We set up the piano in our sunroom for my husband. Our home is small and there’s not a better place – so we have to wait for ‘warmish’ temperatures.

Cobalt sky and 8 this calm morning. We crunch frozen snow on our mountain nature trail before the sunshine bathes our valley. The serenity covers me like a cozy quilt.
