    @WeirdWriter earlier this year I planned to do a blog post on this - I started to put every product / service review request into an email folder called "a-month-of-review-requests". I have that set of emails, but I never wrote that blog post! Hmm...!

    Good morning. 💮💮💮7 November 2025Hills and ProblemsWhen you set out walking, you inevitably come to hills. You climb one, no big deal—but sure enough, there’s always another waiting on the other side.That’s life.We face problems. Some loom larger than others, demanding our attention. We fixate on the one that feels most urgent, believing that solving it will lift a great weight off our shoulders. And it does—briefly. But that’s the thing about problems: solve one, and another steps up to take its place. It’s like reaching the top of a hill only to find another rising beyond it.So what do you do?You keep walking. You face the next hill. The world doesn’t pause for our troubles—we all carry them. It’s just that our own burdens often feel heavier than they truly are. So take a breath. It’s not the end of the world.Remember how you felt when you were young. We had problems then too, but somehow we were better at keeping them in their place. We compartmentalized. Our troubles stayed in their box while joy, curiosity, and play lived in others. We dealt with what needed dealing, then moved on. We didn’t let worry steal every moment.Learn to do that again. Learn to stop worrying.“Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.” — Steve Maraboli“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” — Winston Churchill“We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” — Joseph Campbell#photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #morning #flower #worry #resiliance #compartmentalizing

    The Cladonia lichen is beautiful with its tubes. But this was the moment when I was crouching down, trying to take a sharp photo. The object is so tiny that it is barely visible to the naked eye. At that moment, something crawls down my neck under my clothes, but I can't move my hand because it's a completely sharp shot right now. Something also passed behind me a moment ago, I was just taking pictures in the bed of an old stream. Probably a deer. Right now is right now.#nature #SilentSunday
