Alaska nights

A pilot just flew through one of the strongest aurora storms in years — and saw the sky explode in color. From the cockpit of a Boeing 787, pilot Matt Melnyk had a view like no one else. Flying at 37,000 feet over Manitoba, he watched as the auroras filled the entire sky. Original post

Yesterday, I managed 2,150 words for the day. This morning, another 1,100 words. Still neck pain, but not as bad as last week.

After 6 days of no writing, I managed 1,100 words this morning. A little pain, but not bad.

I should probably write something... I haven't written anything this weekend 'cause I have a pinched nerve in my neck which is causing a LOT of pain. It's better now, but there are times when the pain flares up and it becomes unbearable. Hope to write this week 'cause the novel is almost finished

Happy #InternationalWomensDay Here’s to the women who lift others up, speak truth, show kindness, and keep moving forward, even on the difficult days. The world is better because of you

The Aurora Borealis is probably my favorite Borealis.

Good morning and welcome to tuna Tuesday The way we think is like a box of crayons shaping our picture. Fill it only with grey and the scene feels dull, but sprinkle in laughter and colour, and everything begins to glow. Find things to giggle at today

Well, it's certainly been a week since I last posted. The New Novel is over 25,000 words and I'm thinking it's going to come in about 57,000 words. It'll be a close thing. #WritersOfBluesky

Good morning and welcome to marvellous marmalade Monday Never underestimate your resilience. It’s carried you through days you thought you couldn’t face, lifted you after moments that felt heavy, and quietly reminded you that you’re stronger than you realise.

Good morning & welcome to Roast Dinner Day Take a little time today to notice the small things, a quiet moment, a kind word, a shared smile. Life isn’t only made of big milestones; sometimes the smallest moments are the ones that gently hold us together.

The whole sky just exploded in green here in Reykjavík. It was so bright, I didn't even need my flashlight to walk out to my neighborhood beach. It's rare when we get these whole sky engulfing shows. This season has been something else. #solarmaximum ftw! #northernlights #aurora #iceland

Just reached 15,000 words. The novel is a quarter finished. #BookSky #WritersOfBluesky

Good morning and welcome to Fish For Tea Friday Thoughts may be invisible, but their influence is stronger than anything else. They can weigh you down or lift you towards your greatest potential. Think positive thoughts

Good morning and welcome to tuna Tuesday Never underestimate the little ways you include others. Those quiet gestures can make someone feel noticed, seen, and truly cared for. They may seem small to you, but to someone else, they can mean everything.

I'm thinking that spending some time in northern Arizona later this year may have to happen... Nikon D750, 24-70mm lens at 24mm, f11, ISO100, 1/400 second

Good morning & welcome to Roast Dinner Day Take care of yourself, not just the version the world sees, but the quiet parts too. You don’t have to be strong all the time. You’re not broken. You’re human. Give yourself the care you give everyone else.

Same here. I was tearing up at the end

A thin stream of water is illuminated by the sunlight above, and gives the illusion of a full waterfall inside the dell. The marvel of nature. #BlueskyArtshow #sunlight #natureatitsbest #sandstonebeauty

Good morning and welcome to Fish For Tea Friday In every place you enter, try to give more than you take. Small acts of positivity can quietly build others up.

Good morning welcome to Tippetty tap tap Thursday Be someone who still tries. After failure, frustration, and heartache, be the person who finds the courage to try again Believe that better days and kinder moments are yet to come.

Good morning & welcome to Whiskers Wednesday Some things are simply outside our control Try not to rush what’s taking a little longer than expected Good things don’t like being hurried… they like being trusted. Everything finds its moment.

Good morning and welcome to tuna Tuesday Sometimes the hardest part of life isn’t the struggle that follows, but the moment before it, the moment where you decide to try. That small, shaky act of courage can be the start of everything

Good morning and welcome to marvellous marmalade Monday Some paths are quiet. Some feel long. But every step counts, and progress doesn’t have to be loud. Walk today at your own pace.

Rainy walk on the patch today. A bit of excitement with only my 3rd Goshawk on the patch, fairly quiet otherwise, a few new birds for the year. #birdingWales

Good morning & welcome to Roast Dinner Day We’re all improvising, really. Taking small steps into days we’ve never lived before. Just in case you needed to hear it: Everyone is winging it. Some people are just better at pretending. You’re doing fine. Keep going

Good morning and welcome to Fish For Tea Friday Doubt has a habit of stealing dreams before they’ve even had a chance. Be kinder to yourself. Believe in yourself, even when your voice trembles.
