#Today 18

Good day!

To reach this location, my first step taken on the hike was stepping out my door.

No transport required.

It’s impossible to express how grateful I am for that.

I suspect that those who hoard wealth and power don’t know what true gratitude means.

Be everwell.

Good day!

That moment when you’re riding the wild wildflower in a spring breeze while wearing your bee shades.

You look so cool that a random human comes by and takes your picture to share with buzzing humans.

Oh yeah, looking good. 🐝

Be everwell.

#Today 16

Good day!

Tennis on Sunday, a hike yesterday. It’s that time of year when possibilities abound, and all while a story is coming to life.

Meanwhile, Pride is this coming weekend here.

It’s a moment to realize what real life can be, and then live it.

Be everwell.
