Prologue<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Full disclosure. This entry was supposed to post yesterday. Also, I skipped an entry from yesterday to answer this question instead. I promise to revisit that sometime in the future. For today, I’m just trying to get back on schedule. So, this entry might be short since it is already almost 9 o’clock and I’m back to work. 345 in the morning comes very early. Still need to make time for the little things. Like these journal entries<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do I wake up at 345 in the morning? I have no earthly idea. That’s just the time that my brain decides is a good time to wake up and start thinking about the day. Also, thinking about the day before. Analyzing and overanalyzing every single moment and wondering if I could have done anything better. Melatonin helps, but only sometimes and only marginally. Sorry, folks, we are at 1030 now and I need to put the computer to the side to calm down the old brain. Afraid we have to wait until tomorrow to hear about the little things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Journal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Before answering the question today, I need to talk about our “outdoor adventure” on Sunday. After discovering the new hike on Saturday, we simply worked outdoors for most of the day. I burned brush and moved some of the wood pile back underneath a tarp. After that, we celebrated indoors by going to the Quarters for Aiden’s birthday celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now two days out from the original day, can I remember the original intent of the post? Thankfully, I bookmarked the page<\/a> with the prompts. The question for this post asks, “Describe a little thing \u2014 one of the things you love that defines your world but is often overlooked.” I have to admit that this is the toughest prompt that I’ve seen yet from these. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not that I don’t appreciate the small things. Sometimes I miss big things in favor of the small things, in fact. I’m more having trouble with the overlooked part. Who am I to say what people overlook or not? And, so, this post comes two days late and leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth. I’m sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Epilogue<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I promise to be better about this page. I got my new phone today, so I can start planning hikes and grabbing pictures of new fishing spots. I’ve been talking with a student at school and he inspired me to find some of those new fishing spots. Stay tuned. I will eventually find my groove here and on the main page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
