For the last few days I’ve finally been able to look back on the turn, progress (?) of recent events and laugh, rather than feel stultified by it all, and sad.
It feels a bit like life is playing tricks — psyching me out on something, only to then not deliver — because (?), but, I am failing to see the punchline.
A few days ago, I was determined to spend another day in bed, when a new HD person in town asked me, for the second day in a row, if I felt today would be a good day to hike.
So the four of us hiked Atalaya, and there was quite a bit of snow, and it was tough, and cold, and it was also, so, so glorious.
The sun finally came out on our descent, and I was smiling the whole way down.
Why is everything
so gorgeous
this bogus dream
this lunacy why?

I have so many little life stories I’ve written lately that amidst the melancholy and not feeling like I was making any forward progress in life, I’ve been a bit lost in how to organize all of it.
So I think this post will be just a short (lol, yea right) summary of the recent timeline of things. As a way of giving you all a life update.
And the actual stories, will be their own posts :::
