My soul was so tired I felt like I was sleep-walking by the time I got to Thursday. I was dreaming with my eyes open. I felt like a Mumford and Sons song: “How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyesI struggle to find any truth in your liesAnd now my heart stumbles on […]
I am tired and I will blame daylight savings time and the fact that winter isn’t over yet. I am tired but I still went out to find adventure because it was 73 degrees and sunny and I felt too alive to contain myself. I’m thankful to the friend who thought up the adventure because […]
What do you say when you are self-destructing on the inside? For me, I say nothing, which makes writing a blog post hard. I think the actual advice is to try speaking to yourself the way you would speak to a friend who was feeling the same way. So to my friend, I say; it’s […]
This week we saw temperatures from 55 degrees to 8 degrees and so I feel split in two. I am torn between winter adventures that must be done now and summer adventures that I need to be planned before time runs out. For winter I am thinking of another try at snowboarding, cross country skiing, […]
There are so many different kinds of tired. There’s the semi-delusional I Haven’t Slept in Days kind. There’s the kind where everything is funny even though it’s really not.

I don’t know what the songs are talking about. Walking in winter is Never a wonderland. The air stings your nose and eyes, ice forms where your lungs used to be, any exposed skin goes numb and begins to ache, any unexposed skin is muffled in so many layers it’s difficult to move. The whole […]
Sometimes I feel how breakable I am. A wrist turns a little wrong, an ankle does a funny twist, muscles pull, back kinks, sore necks. Nails break, toes get stubbed, hair gets caught in a zipper and gets pulled out. A germ can make you sick and you can’t even see it. It’s so easy […]
“Being an adult is just saying “But after this week things will slow down a bit again” to yourself until you die.” – Kristen Anderson-Lopez I keep telling myself that NEXT week I will slow down. I”ve been saying this since April though so I think it’s time to accept my fate. There is no […]
Wednesday: I’m writing this on Wednesday because I feel bad and I don’t know why. I am on the verge of having 5 and a half days off and they will be filled with wonderful things like hiking, biking, rock climbing and the peak of fall colors in the Adirondack mountains. So why do I […]
