sunrise: 7:13
a hopeful sign this morning. For the first day there was the faintest break in cloud cover on the furthest eastern horizon. I still haven't seen the sun in 2010, but it was an improvement.
Yesterday's load of wet snow crusted over with ice made for challenging skiing. Fortunately I left my camera behind today. It might have taken a hit one of the times that I collapsed in ungraceful and weirdly angular positions. Getting back to my feet felt a bit like the first, futile attempt of a newborn colt to stand. If you ever feel your ego is getting overlarge, just go out for a trek on cross-country skis on deep, ice-crusted snow. Sure fire cure.
About Me
- rcw
- (Jan. 2011) Just prior to 2010, I challenged myself to be outdoors for sunrise every day for one year, beginning on Jan. 1. Not a morning person, I knew it would be a significant challenge. I am now 50 years old, an empty nester, mother of four launched children. I have become a writer, with about 70 published articles in addition to my 365 blog posts. I am also slowly writing my way through my first full length book - about the life of Rachel Field, author, poet, and former owner of our family's summer home on an island off the coast of Maine. When the spirit moves me to reflect upon the writing life, the natural world, family relationships, the journey of life, love, and laughter, I will get up before the sun, watch the rising of day, and record my continuing odyssey. (Dec 2019) As 2020 approaches, my 10-year anniversary blog project is underway on my website. The Rachel Field book will be published in May of 2021. My writing and teaching careers both continue to expand.
