Like being reunited with an old friend…

May 30th, 2009

One of my favorite things about blogging is that a blog is always there- or here. My blog doesn’t judge me, in fact it helps me whenever I give it occasion to. It will change to fit my mood, my life, my thoughts, and my fancy. It doesn’t care if I’m too busy to give it any attention for months on end, because its MY BLOG! :)

So yes, it’s been a LONG time, and nothing original has been written here for way too long.

Here’s to never giving up no matter how hard the fight, how boring things get, or how far you fall!

I’ve been on two wonderful trips so far this summer. I went to Moab a few weeks ago and had a GREAT time rafting on the Colorado River and hiking the trails in Arches National Park.

 

Every time I travel I’m reminded of just how blessed I am to live in such a beautiful state and country. Some of God’s most beautiful masterpieces are in my own back yard. I’m reminded daily of nature’s supreme beauty as I look at the mountains that surround the Salt Lake Valley.

Just last weekend I went camping in Escalante, Utah and hiked in Peekaboo Gulch, just one of many slot canyons in the area. Awestruck is the word that comes to mind.  I aspire to capture the wonder of those canyons on photo. (This is my first attempt. I’m sure I will improve with practice)

Next trip: Spanish Fork Canyon! Who knows what we’ll discover there. Wahoo!!! (I’m excited!)

I’ve Got You Under My Skin!

I went to a dance tonight and the band playing reminded me of how much I love Frank Sinatra singing this song… and Mel Gibson dancing to it on What Women Want. I couldn’t help but sing it on the way home. What a wonderful artist!

I can’t sleep

cant-sleep

Stressful
Roving
Thoughts keep thinking
The world keeps going in my mind
Deliberate 
Breathing
Sounds keep sounding
Life keeps living in my mind

Merry, Merry Christmas!

Winter Winds Will Surely Blow All Your Cares Away!

December 21st, 2008

We had a huge snowfall here yesterday, and last night when the storming stopped I had an amazing time taking pictures and making snow angels!

Snow flakes falling all over town 

Snowy Scene

Slipping, sliding everybody’s rushing round

Snow Covered Cars

There’s an icy chill in the air
 

Twinkle Lights  

Telling us that winter’s really here

Branch to the sky

Because it’s snowing, blowing all through the day

Snow Angel

Winter winds will surely blow all your cares away!
