Stretching is Scary!!!! | Mountain Living
https://mtngrl5.com/2013/02/28/stretching-is-scary
Enjoying the Creative High Life! February 28, 2013. So all the blogs said it would be awful, all the boards for trades people said “hire a professional,” but just a few people said it was possible and they had done it. So I took a chance, knowing that my “fix-it” skills were pretty decent, and while I procrastinated for at least two weeks trying to learn more, eventually it was just time to do it! Now when I walk in and flip the switch I have to pause a moment to make sure the fan is on. I look up to...

Note to Self…… | Mountain Living
https://mtngrl5.com/2013/02/07/note-to-self

https://mtngrl5.com/2013/03/02/planning-for-change
Enjoying the Creative High Life! March 2, 2013. The weather is changing again…there are signs of spring that seem to come earlier every year.

I used to fight the changes, the sliding of deadlines, the unfinished projects supplanted by another more urgent. Now, I don’t have any choice but to accept them. What’s the use of working on something that was supposed to be finished in late summer, when winter is breathing down your neck and half a dozen things need doing before the first hard freeze? Or the next rain event? Packing for the move.
