Not Much

Haven't felt too inspired to write lately. And I spend way too much of my time worrying about things that I have no control over. I'm getting better about it, but still, it persists. My family calls it the "worry gene". Everyone on my mother's side of the family has it. My father's side is even worse, so I just have to accept that it's part of me and try not to let it get out of control.

One of the things I'm doing to combat the problem is to walk a mile at least 3 times a week. I've found that when I go around 7:20ish, I get to marvel over the amazing sunset. We seem to have such spectacular colors here, and we're at a high elevation which offers an amazing vantage point. It makes me want to walk just to watch - like I'm going to a show or something. It's a great mood enhancer, I must say. I just love nature.

Spring has been particularly beautiful this year, so Mabel has dutifully captured some of it for me. Here are a few that make me happy:
