I'm a firm believer that every step you
take leads you to where you are. I also believe looking back on
where you've been, it always seems better than it was. I'm in a good
place now, I have a direction forward. Whether or not that direction
is perilous, time will reveal. For now, I enjoy where I am. I have
no real wants for me, just for my children.
I get to see the kids a lot over the
summer and one of the things working from home gives me, is time with
them. I'm happy the four hours of daily commute is a thing of the
past. Today we went to a trail on the opposite side of the preserve.
I hadn't brought the kids there before. It has lots of hills and
water and rickety bridges.
The sun was already on it's way down,
when we arrived, so I knew we wouldn't get far. The tide was low, so
the insects were active. Getting there late, the cameras were
fighting the light. Forty-five minutes into the hike, we were forced
to turn back and saw a family of flag tails running from our
crackling steps on leaves. I let Lizzy guide us out of the woods.
Though she took us down a few of the tougher paths and one a skunk
had recently journeyed, we made it to the car unscathed.
Afterward, we had a lot of insect
bites; not a lot of pictures; took a lot of tough trails; suffered
through fresh skunk smell.
Looking back on it I realize, we had a great
time.
