In which we cover vim, slush, gratitude and laundry
People of the world, (or rather, the four of you who continue to read my blog in spite of my horrifying punctuation) I am back!
I never actually left, physically anyway. But my goodness, it’s been a rough two weeks, and while I can give you no assurances that things are any better at all… I am alive. I’m hopped up on vitamin B, I’m full of vim and a small amount a vigor, and I shall overcome!
I went out to the lake on Saturday to see if a little photography session would brighten the day, but as I smudged my feet into the damp sand on the edge of Utah Lake, it became somewhat obvious that it was gonna be difficult to get any amount of joy out of what is currently just a very large slush puddle.
Witness:
Yes, that’s mud in the foreground and icy slush in the background. And yes, I took other pictures that day, and no, there were no other good pictures. Flat failure! BUT! The good news is that there are small tufts of green things popping up, which means that we’ll soon be back to lush greens and golds which will mean that the photography jaunts are going to get good. I’m incredibly excited about this.
Life is a good, people. Some patches are a bit rough, and I don’t care for uncertainty much. But you know, it’s something I get to live. How you respond to challenges and adversity is what shapes you and determines the kind of person you ultimately become. It’s all an opportunity, and I’m grateful.
See? Here’s a picture of me looking grateful (and a little disheveled, because I’m blogging while doing laundry, and I HATE laundry).
