EXTRA!!! EXTRA!!! READ ALL ABOUT IT

Alki in March

i've still got it.  On this cold cloudy Monday, i did something i haven't done since last October.  i did the entire 3 mile trail along Alki.  After a holiday season of too much egg nog and enjoying food far too much (so my clothes are telling me), i pushed myself to complete the entire trail, thinking about giving up a few times and just catching the shuttle.  But when i had that thought, i stopped, over looking Puget Sound and taking a deep breath of that beautiful cold sea salt air to give me the strength to continue moving forward.  It wasn't a great day to take pictures, but i always have my best friend (my camera) with me.  My arms feel like jello, i'm guessing my wheelchair needs a tune up.  But damn do i feel empowered by not giving up and returning to pushing myself.  i'm at peace being anti-social, so long as i have nature ... who has never betrayed me ... to embrace and capture with a few clicks of my camera. And i am never truly alone on my journeys, i know SADDI is with me.  Because she is my heart and my purpose to celebrate and explore and share this glorious life.
