Hello everyone,

| hiking at Tent Rocks |
Well, company is gone, Thanksgiving is over, it's time to get back to normal, whatever that is. All I know is that I am in some kind of transformational state. My reactions and responses are different--whereas before I might fly off the handle, now, I am aware of an intense emotional feeling but am not letting it loose. Here's what it feels like. All my life, I felt as if I were hiking a steep trail up a cliff with no guard rail, filled with jagged rocks and other hazards. Needed to be hyper-vigilant to feel safe. Now, it feels as if I am on a flat trail, no rocks or other hazards, no cliff.

Here are a few photos from my Thanksgiving break.

How about you? Are you walking a hazardous trail or one where you feel safe?

Wonderful photos, Karen! I feel like I'm walking on a narrow path with steep drops on either side... and I'm exhausted.
Thank goodness I have a break coming up soon.
What great pictures. Now I see where your analogy came from.
My journey has become rockier and less uncertain. I may be having to reach out to let my wife steady me on the path for a little while. I hope the trail doesn't get too steep as I don't have the kind of stamina that I had when I was younger.
Glad to hear that the way has smoothed out for you.

Nice analogy. I'm on an almost flat trail which is lovely and scenic -- with the occasional turn in the path that passes perilously close to a sheer cliff/drop off. Mostly safe but it pays to stay alert...
Wow, fab pics. What a great place to wander and enjoy nature.
I'm a walker and love all sorts of trails, from through the woods to city sidewalks to abstract life trails. I'm so enjoying my life trail right now, finding the twists and turns to be thrilling me every step of the way.
Talli, I hope it smooths out soon.
Lee, my hubby has done that for me so many times, I can't count - good luck
Vicki, even on a flat trail, we must stay awake!
Glynis, yes, it's quite beautiful there
Joanne, how lovely
