The question:
21 What lifts your spirits when you’re feeling down?Talking to Dave, sometimes. Doing 12 Step readings - like today the message I got was, "Are you living in the solution, or are you living in the problem?" It's time to live in the solution.

Rainy and I did get a hike in at Two Mile this morning. Lovely. One part of a trail I haven't been on yet. Plus I saw another trail that is new to me to hike in the future. ( Pictures HERE. )

But I am wearing a hand and body lotion that smells really good right now called Aromatherapy Comfort Vanilla and Patchouli ( Read more... )

Candy and I hiked up to the Big Rock at 2 Mile Run this morning. Just a dumb little thing I was thinking of - the song Big Rock Candy Mountain. I lost the map halfway to the rock - it must have fallen out of my pocket after we crossed the last bridge (I remember having it then) and either we could have turned back to find it or I could try and ( Read more... )
