MORE MOMENTS FROM BEAR LAKE

When we arrived at the campsite, it was pouring down rain and I got completely soaked setting up my trailer. Well, I guess to make the circle complete, when I packed up the trailer this morning it was raining. Not quite as bad, but I was wet by the time I finished getting the trailer ready for travel.

And guess what, this afternoon, here, back in Park City, the sky opened up and dumped a ton of water. I got soaked once again just walking from the trailer to the house...about twenty feet.

So here are some more moments from Bear Lake. First, the sky looked like this 99% of the time...

I liked this set of clouds...

Oh, and here is the other end of Bear Lake. I stopped and took these pictures on my way home...

Flowers and weeds...

Rocks big and little...

Some birch trees...

And a humming bird...

Tomorrow, back to the regular routine, walking first, unless it's raining again.
Thanks for stopping by...
See you tomorrow...

CRAFTING IDEAS

I am always looking for a small piece of paper to write down something which will later be disposed of. I decided to use some of the scrap paper of which I have a ton. I mostly use the paper for glueing projects. I decided to cut the paper into a small size. (Six pieces from a piece of copy paper.). But just having them sitting on my desk would get messy without a container. So, using a cardboard box, I cut it down to size and using a hot glue gun I glued the ends together. Using a picture from a magazine cut into pieces and stick craft glue, I glued the pieces to the box inside and out. I also used some decorative tape for the outside edges. And to finish the top corners which were not covered, I used straight pins with colorful tops. Looks nice and works well.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

So in looking over your habits what did you find? Some popular good habits folks have are: Meditation, exercise, journal writing, flossing, reading and walking up early. Some not so great habits included smoking, saying yes, swearing, tolerating folks, not sleeping enough, always complaining and constantly making excuses. Do you have more good habits or more bad habits? Is it time to change? If so, start with the easiest bad habit to change, not the hardest. This will give the best chance of success. Decide on the best way for you to change your habit. Worry too much? Set a time to worry and then stop. You may have to stop yourself several times at the beginning but keep it up and you will worry less. Or, alternatively, write the worry down as well as options to stop the problem. Just figure out which way to stop is best for you.
