Walking tonight.

I walked the trail at Lake Griffy all by myself.

Squirrels
are noisy. People talk and write about how humans are noisy and smelly
and invade nature. I think squirrels are much noisier than I am when I
am alone.

When I started out tonight I felt really bad and weak and I
felt like going back to the car and crying. I kept going. I made myself
walk a hundred paces before I could rest. I had to do that about three
times and made it to the top of the ridge, then I was okay. The total
hike took me fifty minutes tonight. Once I got going I really got into
a groove I had a really good feeling. I was still feeling the effort
physically, but mentally, emotionally I felt GREAT. I was reminded of
three things: One was in some teen novel - maybe "A Separate Peace."
where the character is a runner and it describes when he hits this
place, some kind of runner's bliss and it is total euphoria. The second
was in one of the "Tales of Alvin Maker" books, by Orson Scott Card.
There is a point when Alvin runs - I think he is running to tell the
Indians that Wm. Henry Harrison is going to massacre them.... he runs
and runs and feels "green" like he is part of nature and it moves with
him and he within it and it is energizing. The third memory it recalled
was once I went to the Chicago Temple. I was sitting in the chapel
waiting for our endowment session to begin. I turned around and Sister
Hafen and Sister Pond were sitting there also awaiting a session. I
KNEW in my heart that that was exactly where I was supposed to be at
that time, that place, that situation. I still believe that was true
for me on that day, even though I have different feelings about the
temple now. Today I had that feeling as I walked the ridge. It was
where I was supposed to be at exactly the right time. I am tired. My
feet hurt, yet I have the total feeling of well-being that I did what I
needed to do FOR ME today.

YAY ME!

90 degrees outside (high 94 today)

It’s HOT! Today is considered a “cold front” at 90 degrees. The rest of the week is supposed to be in the 100’s. We have record breaking heat in Utah this summer, with temperatures at least 10 degrees above normal. We have wildfires burning throughout most of the state because of high temps, winds, and dry conditions. We had a low snow pack last winter.

I miss my dad. I made it through father’s day, thankfully. I felt him close all through the day, which helped. I had a melt down a few days ago thinking about my mom dying. That really scares me. She’s only 70 – she’s not old, but she’s not young, either. I talked with her about it, and she said she wants me to be happy when she dies, and not be sad. She said I can know I’ve taken good care of her, she loves me, we have a good relationship. I know I’ll see her again. But it’s a scary thought to think of not having her around.

I went to the doctor for my annual check up. I need to lose 20 pounds. My cholesterol is up. I need to watch what I eat. I need to stop drinking soda. She put me on Effexor for me depression and stress. I can already tell a difference. I am MUCH calmer. I am feeling myself getting back to normal.

I want to go to the ocean. I’ve never been. I want to see a lighthouse up close.

to worry about your mom.  I think we all do that kind of thing.  Yu have felt the loss of your father and your mom is who remains...

Are there lighthouses on the west coast or do you need to come east?

I want an east trip - you could go visit your old mission and we can bum off some of my friends and family...  I am probably too poor to go even splitting costs this year, though.

Web log, shortened to blog.

I'm killing time traveling and just stopped by The Wild Side for a sec. See you all when I get home.

Happy trails!
