I always thought gnomes lived near the ground under mushrooms and such... what a surprise when I spotted this wee fella up in my tree!
This bird has been hanging out in the yard all afternoon. I wouldn't find this very strange if I lived anywhere near a body of water. It keeps flying away when I go outside to take a picture of it. I just looked out the window and it is back for the 4th time.
I think a part of that is often times wanting to have a plan for the unplannable, does that make sense? So at least even if I don't have a concrete plan, I'll have structure, like a structure of a plan... So, I'm still like that, like when something happens, I'm still anxious and I have to think about all of the bad things that can happen. I still need to write it down a lot of times, call Danny and talk to her about it a lot times, like oh my god, what if this happens?... I've evolved into that being more of a “trust the process” personality, Even if it's bad or even if it seems bad, does that make sense?
Common example, I got offered the job at Brandeis University around the same time I was waiting for a job in Abu Dhabi. So, I have Brandise here like “we want an answer, we want it in this many days” and Abu Dhabi is like “we may or may not get back to you to say that we really want you to come in by this many days”. The two don't work together, I have two options; I take the job at Brandeis, give up on my current dream job in Abu Dhabi or I turn down the job at Brandeis and still believe that i'm going to get this job in Abu Dhabi, so it's kind of like a contradiction. I have the anxiety around I may not get this job and I’m like, oh my god, what if I turn this job down and then i don't get the Abu Dhabi job. What if I don't get another job, what if, what if, what if.
Just completed a 3 day hike down the South Kaibab trail of the Grand Canyon, 2 nights/1 day at a cabin in Phantom Ranch on the bottom, and hike out on the Bright Angel Trail. The overlook shots are mostly on the S. Kaibab, with glimpses of the Colorado River visible in some. A few shots, with people begin to show the incredible scale of the place. Snow & ice at the top for the first 2-3 miles, very cold, but then nice but still cold at Phantom. I couldn't hike with my "real" camera, so all I had with me was an old point-n-shoot. Still, given the shock & sadness of the mass shootings in my Tucson town which I learned of just as I was about to descend, the beauty of the Grand Canyon was the perfect antidote. It really helped.
