We said goodbye today
I did not want to
I was far from through
loving on you.

Love Language
Love language is the lingo of the day. Who hasn’t heard this term used once in the last month? We are all claiming and broadcasting our individual ways others prove they love us. So, to make it easy, here are a few of my literal love language gestures:

I wish I had a hidden skill.
Something I could just whip out
at times when the chips are down
and give everyone a thrill
when they discover my skill.
Continue readingFort Bridger Rendezvous
For years, I wanted to check out the annual Fort Bridger Rendezvous in southwest Wyoming. It is held every Labor Day weekend and for many years there was always an excuse not to make the drive and participate. Until last year. Last year I decided to make the time and I’m glad I did.

I don’t have the best memory
there are a lot of things I forget.
Even with my best intention
the experience is lost for me
because no memory is set.

Last month’s Saturday’s short story was a continuation of June’s short story. Every year there seems to be those two months with 5 Saturdays separated by only a month. Every year I say I will not do a 10-part short story again. Every year I end up doing a 10-part short story and regret it. So, yes I did another 10-part short story and no, I don’t regret it. But I still struggled with it.

be a little out of touch.

Plan C: The Joy of Daily To-Dos
Lizzie watched the passing train and took a bite of her sandwich. A year ago today she had sat in a bus as it brought her home. She remembered that day well. Mainly the overwhelming feeling of failure. But that was a year ago. That girl, thankfully, no longer existed. The year had morphed her into someone else. Someone who no longer felt the bitter pangs of failure but felt more…what word could describe it? Successful wasn’t the exact word because she was still a work in progress. No, what she felt now was confidence. And she felt pity for that unsure girl from a year ago and wished she could give her some encouragement. It was a process, emphasis on process, but she felt like for the first time in probably her entire adult life her feet were firmly planted on the ground. It was ironic that the ground her feet were firmly planted on was in her hometown. The town she was so eager to leave at one time.

Plan C: South Pass
Lizzie stepped out of the car and breathed deeply. While she loved the thrill of the fast-paced life she lived in New York she had to admit, she was a Wyoming girl at heart. One thing she realized she had missed living back east was the mountains. How the crisp cool air could snap your lungs to attention. She had a small reminder when she arrived late spring in town but today, back in the Wind River Range, she realized just how much she missed the mountains. This place where she currently stood was truly one of her favorite spots.
