Britton and I went to Fort Collins last weekend to see a movie because it wasn’t playing in Greeley but we got lost and missed the early showing, so we decided to go up to Horsetooth Reservoir and hike around a little bit. It was beautiful and perfect weather, probably the last nice weather (you might notice no coat on Britton) of the year.

The weather has definitely changed and the temperature has dropped. This weekend we hardly left the house -just for groceries and lunch on Sunday. It’s only about 40 degrees! Kitty kept trying to run into the house and the chickens kept fluffing up their feathers outside Uggh! Times like these remind me how much I want Puerto Rico! We keep checking the temperature differences (40 here, 84 there). Just wait till we get the snow..Brrr.
Appreciate what you have, not what you don’t. Many people never experience the 4 seasons.
Very true. And I do, for the most part, enjoy and certainly appreciate, the seasons- as I have for almost 30 years. It is definitely a balance of the “past”, the “now” and the “future”; one can’t be too occupied with any one form of the 4th Dimension. I am still looking forward to eternal summer though- something I have never experienced.
According to “The New Earth” the three modalities of Awakened Living are Acceptance, Enjoyment and Enthusiasm. I don’t think I will ever LOVE the snow and blowing cold, but I can accept it; I enjoy my life “now” wherever I am (for the most part); and I am very enthusiastic about Puerto Rico. Another phrase I’ve heard is that to be happy, you need 1) someone to love, 2) something to do and 3) something to look forward to. And, yes, I am very happy. How’s that for pop psychology! 🙂
