Good morning,
I pray the day finds you well.
Lolo and I are still at Devil's Tower; this is our last day here as we mosey (it is a Wyoming term) our way to Spearfish, South Dakota.
Devil's Tower is a really cool place.
We hiked all over and went to an actual sweat lodge, not to sweat; I have an aversion to sweating, thus the reason I never went upstairs in our "Y," people sweat up there.
One thing I did notice is that there aren't many young people here. We were surrounded by old people.
- People complaining about knee replacements
- People saying things like
- I hope you're not in a hurry
- Honey, where are we? I forget?
- What, I can't take my motorized scooter on the trail?
Here is a picture of an old couple on the trail
Like I said, nothing but old people.
Another interesting tidbit about Devil's Tower is that normal people don't stay at the KOA; it is full of turkeys. Turkeys tend to stay at the KOA.
Here is proof.
I think they were looking for arrowheads; either that or one of them lost their keys.
Seeing the country, the changing topography, meeting all sorts of people, and the variety they bring is good for the soul.
I get to see more of the things that God created.
The beauty of nature.
The crankiness of some old people.
The joyfulness of some old people.
As Lolo and I mosey our way to Spearfish, South Dakota, we notice things; a rock formation or the way the sun hits the red dirt. We get to listen to people's stories and hear about their lives.
I enjoy my life, the life that God gave me. Sure, it hasn't always been easy, and I guess I could have focused on the things that hurt or made me feel bad, but I chose not to.
There are choices in life, one of which is how you feel and see the world.
I choose love.
I choose compassion.
I will continue to work on seeing life through these lenses.
How are you seeing life? What lens are you using?
Something to ponder.
Blessings,
Roger
