Colorado



I'm a New England girl
There is something about the sea
that reminds me that there is 
something so powerful out there.
I realize how small I am in this world.
But I do believe that waking up to this
might just do the same thing.



I missed him
We needed to spend time together
It was wonderful



This brook is near Graham's apartment


We took Henry for a little walk


I can't believe how big she is getting


The woods were amazing


 My last morning I woke to fresh snow

It was truly an adventure
Three days
A missed flight
Driving across a state by myself
It was a little bit scary
But I did it

"But you gotta try. That's what character is. It's in the try."

Fresh snow, the woods, the pup, the young man. One of life's most perfect combinations.

"It's in the try"...I like that. I grew up in Colorado...I love seeing those Aspen trees in winter. My mom still lives in Denver and my brother in Steamboat. Makes me want to book a trip.

As my Mother tells me, "What won;t kill ya will make you stronger" - so I forge ahead and do things of immeasurable strength and then afterwards say, "I did it and it really was not so bad" - I love Nike's mantra, "Just do it" - It is the inner voice that tells me that one will never know if we don't give it a try.
Colorado on my mind....looks like it was worth all the courage in the world.
To see those we love can be a test of love.

I hate to fly and it has kept me from seeing my son who is out West. Your post had nudged me....I have to do this!

Yes. TRY. That is embedded in my attempt to SHOW that we need to be WANNABES and just do it 'til we get it right...fake it 'til you make it. TRY.

WHAT FABULOUS PHOTOS AND THANK YOU FOR VISITING!! Anita
