Well, well, well, “December Journaling if you feel like you haven’t achieved anything this year,” we have made it to Day 29: A beautiful moment in nature from the year. And today is Dec. 30, so I’m practically caught up. I think I’ll save the last two for tomorrow though. I’m enjoying writing at the library but I intended to work on my novel. I always tell myself that blogging is my time to warm up, but it’s really a delay tactic. Real writing is HARD, ya’ll.

So my first thought was Spring Break, when we went to Roman Nose State Park and took a super long hiking trip. I should have put that, and Krislyn and my walks in Oklahoma City on my accomplishments in an earlier post but no turning back!

Anyway, Roman Nose. It was Ben and me, Krislyn, Lenora, Belinda, and Sarah. Krislyn and Belinda were super in shape and ready to hike the 10 miles or whatever we did. Sarah was the worst off. The rest of us lay somewhere in the middle. We were just getting a geocache. But wow, what a long, not well marked trail it was – especially since the normal trail was closed for construction, with nary a sign with that information until you were upon the closed area!

We also had a beautiful moment in nature at Gatlinburg, when we were outside the public library. It was just so very pretty.

This last one was from one of Krislyn and my walks (or maybe there was just one walk, that’s a little blurry now). Anyway, there was a lot of not pretty stuff on that walk, but there were a few pretty moments. Krislyn probably took this picture.
