31. I took my pupper out this morning for an hour+ walk at the break of dawn.

Dec 2017

It was a little overcast and dreary, fairly warm for this time of year (45 F) and very, very windy. It felt so elemental, the forces of Mother Nature swirling around me. Leaves skittered to and fro like little mice as the Canadian geese welcomed the new day with a graceful fly-by and a resounding, collective "honk". The remnants of the supermoon seemed to follow me at every turn. Hokey, I know, but I appreciate the rare moments that feel so magical. Especially now.

Happy Birthday!
