Happy Furry Friend




I love dogs. I love having Dela as a companion on my many bike rides and snowy day trips in Michauxslovakia

Thank you Ullr



The heels are locked in. The last snap of the hardwire gets cranked down and Josh says, "Wow! Check that out." I look in the direction he points and instantly forget why the hell we climbed for nearly an hour from our nice warm car to this point. I forget that I am slightly out of shape and slower than Josh with my snow shoes. I forget how much more fun going down is than going up. I forget that the coffee is banging on my bladder waiting to paint a picture in the snow. Rather I realize how damn lucky I am. In this moment I appreciate what is. The simple pleasure found in watching the sun slowly peaking over the next ridge line fills my eyes. I feel each particle of the mountain air fill me. I step outside of my body and become one with all that is.

I'm not a hippy, I swear.
