thank you for a sleepy dreamy morning.
thank you for waking up to birds outside the window.
thank you for packages full of love waiting for me to arrive.
thank you for a toothbrush when my mouth feels gross.
thank you for a house full of friends.

How I did it: I just passed the word around that I wanted folks to send sand to my mom, and some did. i got a little worred about the "asking strangers from the internet to send strange packages to my mother" aspect, but it worked out fine. thanks! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I put some stickers in a film canister along with a note. When I reached a place where I wanted to hide the little treasure I turned on the GPS and recorded my coordinates. Then my sister (apparently) recorded our location on a geocacheing website. Nothing has happened since .... is something supposed to? Read how I did it…
How I did it: I just thought about the people I know who have skills and are trying to share their talents with the world, and I bragged about their projects in an attempt to help sprea the word. Nothing to it. Read how I did it…

Cali girl that I am, I’ve only ever heard about the spectacular Fall colors that put on a show on the right coast each year. This year I got my glimpse of them. My eyes never got tired of the show, and in fact a part of me mourned when the colors faded and the walkways became crunchy.
Along the A.T. there are shelters – simple three sided huts that hikers can stay in – so I took advantage of their presence and didn’t burden myself with a tent. It was nice to have them there, though it meant I had to hike the distance between shelters each day instead of hiking the distance I desired, and the structures were scurrying grounds for critters. Some of them were nice, and some of them were downright charming.
