Explore, Experience and Repeat

 If you cherish every experience, good or bad,

 you'll never have a bad day. 

Aaron Lauitsen



Love is an energy that is addictive, contagious and free.

Earn it, chase it, give it to those in need.

Aaron Lauitsen



and of course it's 

SATURDAY'S CRITTERS 


Water splashing over face, flying off floppy ears,

and those random splashes everywhere 

brings merriment where it nears.


For one minute walk outside. Stand or sit there in silence.

Look up at the sky and contemplate

how amazing life is.


It's in those quiet little towns where we wander about and,

at the edge our journey, I know you'll agree that we'll capture not just great places but the salt of the earth in people we may never have met otherwise.




Somebody to leave the light on, for you.


May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.

J.R.R. Tolkien


So many journeys waiting. Be bold. Be brave.


and so what kind of steps do I make in a great day at work and play?

This.




Just a slight breeze of autumn in the air outside and inside as well.





Something we could all agree on is this.



All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. 

J.R.R. Tolkien

Thanks for bringing me the joy of your visits.

May you all stay safe and take good care of you.
