#Today 05
Good day!
It snowed yesterday morning—again, but has turned mild. This is the time of year when Mother Nature has the flu. 
I’ll spend time in the kitchen today. What I eat I cook & what I cook lasts for days.
Otherwise, a walk & editing. I’ll hike again soon, but not on a weekend.
Be everwell.

Good day!
*An ice flow hidden in Hellgate Canyon.
Editing is truly like freeing a sculpture from within the stone. To think, I used to despise revising.
It’s about discovery, about going deeper into emotions—or deeper into the forest. It’s about possibilities.
Be everwell.

Good day!
I’ve been busy each day this month, yet edited a chapter each day. I’ll have more time today.
Patience, with the process, with myself. Patience, though, doesn’t mean inattention. It means working within myself, while striving.
Finding my creative place begins on my walk.
Be everwell.
It’s getting hard to put a smile on my face these days. Lots of negative nonsense all abound. But it’s pictures like these, that help remind me that there is still good in this world.
“How could the world go back to the way it was, when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer.”

Good day!
*Where the Milwaukee Trail enters the wilds. It was also the moment unexpected snow began, the flakes huge.
As soon as possible, I’m off to the store before there’s traffic. Then, my walk & editing.
I’m really excited about my editing progress right now.
Be everwell.
Wie schön! Lilly, der Zwergpinscher, bzw die Zwergpinscherin unter einem Regenbogen. Das passt so zu dem besonderen Hundetier! #lillyderpinscher #minpin #regenbogen #rainbow #nature #naturelover #natur #spring #frühling #april

Good day!
Yesterday’s forecast: possible drizzle.
Reality? Drizzle to rain to snowstorm to sunny.
All while I hiked 11.8 miles (19.0 M) from my home, most of it outside the city. It was glorious.
This morning I’ll take my morning walk, draft a blog post, & edit a chapter.
Be everwell.
Cyclamen are popular houseplants here in Germany. They delight us in winter with blossoms in delicate shades of white, pink or red.

Good day!
*Mount Sentinel. If you look close, there’s an M on it. Behind it is University Peak.
Right after sunrise on this chilly day, I’ll depart on a hike down Hellgate Canyon. If possible, it’ll be a long hike. I could see some drizzle.
This afternoon? Editing.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Coldest morning in a while. Another day, another walk, another chapter to edit.
While the weather transforms, I’m transforming me, transforming the book. When I reach the point when I’m no longer doing, I’m done.
I step out the door, & the mountain air transforms me…
Be everwell.

Good day!
Have to share this. It’s maximum zoom with my cheap phone. I finally caught a squirrel partaking of my morning offering on the Milwaukee Trail.
My April journal is setup. Another chapter is edited.
I’ll walk (winterish weather has returned), purchase Evie food, & edit.
Be everwell.
Here is a bright yellow tulip for you to brighten up your day!

Good day!
I found it, the line between winter & spring.
For me, after so many days writing around other tasks, I have a day of peace for writing, though adversity has made me insanely productive.
My last hike was my longest in months, my legs eager to tackle more next week. Bring it on.
Be everwell.
