On the Shelf: What I Read in 2022

Remember:
You have a choice.

Choose kindness.

All year I’ve been re-learning how to ride a bike and conquering my fear of two wheels. Here’s a post about the bike that (I hope) is turning me into a Bike Person ™️ 👇

Fear. Let me Google that for you.

A few days ago, in the calm and comforting environment of my apartment, I patted my gently snoring cat, steeled my nerves, and typed “What is fear” into Google. (Isn’t that the way we solve all our problems now? Can’t log into email today?—google if the site is down. Not sure what temperature to roast a chicken?—google Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion. Not sure if that cough is a sign of COVID or cancer?—google it, but understand that the internet will always tell you it’s cancer.)

Bikes and Other Things That Scare Me
Just learned of this giant adorable fox sculpture in Rotterdam and now I must share it with everyone.

With all of the horrible things happening in the world, it’s nice to find the wins. Especially in the area of our environment. A group called Coral Guardian is restoring coral reefs, and it’s quite magnificent.

These photos represent 7 years of work on the Indonesia’s Hatamin Island. In this they have increased the fish population by 5x with 53k corals restored.

More wins like this, please.

Still working through the short stories but this came through on my library holds after a very long wait so I decided to dive in last night. What are you reading? #books

A little scene from a walk today. I am visiting a friend north of Prague and we had our first snow.
