The Winds of Change
Sometimes in the winds of change, we find our true direction...
We have certainly been delighted with our new adventure. It has been awhile since my last post in June but Matt and I had the best summer ever exploring Colorado and enjoyed over 100 miles of hiking trails in the mountains and at least 350 miles of cycling on beautiful country roads but I didn't take the time to sit in front of my computer and blog about. Once Matt arrived from California in mid-June and since we were both "unemployed" for the summer, we made it a point to be active on a regular basis. In two months we hiked numerous trails in Rocky Mountain National Park and Indian Peaks Wilderness from 4 to 10 miles and up to elevations of 13,223 feet. We explored Cub Lake, Bear, Nymph, Dream, and Emerald Lake, Murray Lake in Summit County near Breckenridge, The Loch and Mills Lake, Blue Lake (my favorite happy place so far), Pawnee Pass and the Continental Divide, Dorothy Lake and Araphoe Pass, Timberline Falls, Lake of Glass and Sky Pond, Lake Isabella and Mount Audubon, our highest point so far.
We greatly enjoyed the pleasure of the company of our friends, Stephanie & Jim for the July 4th weekend and Carol later in the month. We went to two Rockies baseball games, Breckenridge, Sculpture in the Park in Loveland and a Jackson Browne conert at Red Rocks. I played golf in a Rally for the Cure tournament and our foursome came in third. I took a Full Moonwriting workshop with Dee and met a wonderful new friend, Michele. I volunteered for the Venus de Miles bike ride and plan to ride in the event next year. We discovered a favorite restaurant in Longmont called Terroir. I have met new friends: Sandi, Billi, Darla, Elise, Michele and Terry and they all have a wonderful energy. I joined the Longmont Newcomers Club and have volunteered to be the editor of their monthly newsletter next year.
Matt loves his new job at Altona Middle School as a counselor. Right place at the right time. Bonus is he will assist with Silver Creek high school baseball coaching in the spring, a dream come true for him or as Matt states, he died and went to heaven! As for me, I am temporarily self-unemployed but patience and persistent will produce prosperity in the new year! It's all good and everything is working out perfectly!
