the gifts we get, even when they don't make sense, are the things we later need to get the grit clench

It was a rainy evening and we were far from a place we wanted to reach. When we were close to a viewing point we saw that sun was shining through a tiny crack in the clouds and the whole valley was filled with a golden light. We ran like the Fellowship of the Ring, jumping over tree roots and steps of a staircase to the viewing point. The whole shoot took around three minutes: unpack a camera, set up a tripod, choose and change a lens, compose a frame, focus and shoot. I had enough time to only take four frames with different exposures and the sun had gone.

the gift of grit

I like to think this is a good reminder for the procrastinators, quitters, and pessimistic Peter's

this life isn't a gift

guilt

inward reflection

forfeiting my hopes

treating my goals like whims

at least, that's what I thought, for a longggg while
