A Hike in the Clouds

This morning

I’m most proud of myself 

For making the trek up and down in the clouds

The view was magical 

Mount Olympus

 I was thinking about how this is all possible from the surgeon who fixed my leg last year, Dr. Higgins. I just learned yesterday that he had a fall himself last year in December while skiing on Cardiff Pass and fell 300 feet, broke multiple bones and a traumatic brain injury. He was rescued and brought to the same hospital where he operated on me. He was in the icu for 3 weeks and then in rehabilitation for several months. He gave a speech at the 25 anniversary of the level 1 trauma center at the University of Utah that he was “this close” to losing his life. I’m so glad he survived but he will not operate again. 

Electric Charger

After a crazy week at work

I’m most proud of the fact that

I could still plug in my car to charge on the way home from work and walk home to unplug and unwind 

 

Most Proud

I heard last week in the family group session

About someone who 

Asks the question 

Every evening

“What did I do today that I am the most proud of?”

What I’m most proud of today 

 

I feel pretty

When I wear the pendant that Marilee gave me for my birthday 

Also after a pretty great massage at the wellness center 

 

Intervention

We need to talk

All my neighbors 

Have their Halloween 

Decorations

Out

It is October 20

And they’re concerned 

Because I don’t have one decoration up

I did however 

Order

And Martin put up

A new American Flag 

 

Take my breath away

Markus had a fun game last night at County

He scored the first and only goal - broke a stick - and had a penalty

The morning sky today was so brilliant 

I had to run back in to grab my camera 

When I was taking the garbage bins out 

It was just that breathtaking 

 

Boo Lights

Martin was invited to give a talk 

Yesterday to the AAMD 

Fritz and I went for a long walk while the car was charging 

And ended up at the zoo for Boo Lights 

 

Be Brenda

I opened all the windows and the doors 

Washed the sheets 

Enjoyed my sweet night of sleep thanks to my new earplugs and eye mask from the recommendation of Olivia 

Chain link broken in 2 places 

On the MTB tandem ride

Since I had the entire day to myself I decided to visit this is the place park

I am working on understanding happiness now 

It was a great day to be outside 

And a beautiful place to walk around and enjoy it 

I was looking for fun things to paint or sketch 

When I came upon the petting zoo 

These little goats came right up to me 

Enjoying the view 

Followed by dinner at my happy place
