Milestones
Stones standing vigil Witness one destination Not lush adventures I’ve always been fond of the quest tale; enthralled with the idea that simply going to look for the Holy Grail was worthwhile even if you didn’t find it. Milestones are important measures–Hell, I have an entire business plan built out with month over month metrics I need to aim for in this writing endeavor, but it’s important to remember that, while they’re undeniably important, milestones often end up as dull bits of stone along the much wider road. Let them be your guides, not your destinations. The list of places to go in life always ends at six feet under. Take a second and enjoy the spaces in between.

Summer days of healing.
Balm for summer days Babbling brook...Cool waters Toes dipped...Heavenly! I recently went on an uphill walk on a trail which led to a gorgeous cascading waterfall. I was sweating from the get-go, the sun came our after a bit of rain and all the younger folks were far ahead, impatiently (in a fun way) egging me on. Imagine my joy and happiness to see a babbling brook of cool water galloping along the many stones without a care in the world.
