What a day

My day is started with waking up 15 minutes before I needed to leave for work. Well I did get to work on time but boy was I tired and felt it all day. Being tired in my job makes it difficult and my patience runs on a thread and is short this can be stressful and make the day feel like it lasts forever. Thankfully the day finally ended without any tragedys.

Ramblings of the day

Well it was mostly relaxing weekend and I got all I needed to get done including a eye doctors appointment. Thank God I have health insurance. But after my weekend I really did not want to back to work a sure sign I need a vacation or mabey if I spent more time in a cave I would not feel this stress at work. Nothing really wrong at work I just think its the mid summer stress point in which I wish I was working a National Park far far away from the dry dry weather of this Colorado summer and wishing their was a beach close by on these warm days. To all you park rangers you do not know how lucky you have it until you spend one summer not working as park ranger.

Our Deepest Fear by Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness That most frightens us.We ask am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small Does not serve the world.There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking So that other people won’t feel insecure around you.We are all meant to shine, As children do. We were born to make manifest The glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; It’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others.

The Fourth of July

I spent the 4th watching my niece Allie ride a bike, chase bubbles, playing in the hot tub and watching fireworks. It was the nicest fourth I have had in a few years and it did not involve watching coworkers getting more and more drunk and driving them home since I was the only one sober. It was a relaxing day and evening thanks to family.

Snow in Late June

Well not here in Colorado Springs but up in the mountain there is stilll is an I got up close and personal with it on a sunday pinic at the in of June. After a long and will tell it was not my idea to drive so far just to eat lunch outside I do that two or three days a week at work and all we do is eat at one of the many city park and that just works fine for me. Well after the drive we finally arrived a Cottonwood Park and lake. This is near the area as a kid we to a camp with all the family for christian officers and families do not remerber much but did see the sign and mom did confirm this was the place. Okay got side tracked so found the most sunniest pinic table in the whole place I blame dad for this one and for the whole drive to the middle of nowhere mountain idea also. So we ate just having the first potato salad of the summer season made it almost worth it after the food was consumed mom and dad sat in their camp chairs near the lake and read while walked Mippers did I forget that we brought the dog which of course I walked to keep her happy and not barking at the other dogs and kids, she did well mostly only scared one kid which was good. After we packed up we helded still west up to the Cottonwood Pass which is the Continental Divide at 12,126 feet where the snow is this late in the year. There was skiers and snowboarders who enjoying this last bit of snow in the ever decreasing snow until winter time. We got out walked abit took pictures and then started home which was even a longer drive because dad kept finding short cuts that where not short so he would turn around and go back to the main highway, well at least I got a chocolate malt and some good potato salad for all the riding around we did.
