I was going to post this last week for Cee’s Which Way Challenge but never got around to it. There are several posts germinating in my brain that I never got to…maybe because I feel a little disconnected. I’m not very happy about being in Michigan because the cold weather is making it very difficult for me to control pain. On the other hand, I’m very happy to be in Michigan, spending time with family and friends. It has been several years since I’ve been so excited about preparing for Christmas, but I’m not ready to write a post or even take photographs about it. I’m thinking of making Christmas cookies for the first time in years even though I’m dragging my feet on putting up the Christmas greens.
I lingered over this photo several times as I have been cleaning out files. Maybe it is the “bridge over troubled waters” I need to help me express the joy of anticipation that is so much a part of our religious observance even though my body doesn’t want to cooperate. A joyful heart with a troubled body trumps a joyful body with a troubled heart any day.
Anyway, when I saw Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge was “Bridges” this week, I knew this was the one.

This is a beautiful photo, Pat. I’m glad you decided to post it. I’m sorry you are under the weather. I hope Christmas cookies and lights will bring some cheer with them.

It really is a beautiful bridge. And who knows, perhaps just getting words out about your in between-ness will help you move on š Happy Holidays Pat!

Thanks, Heather. I did wake up very focused this morning. Isn’t amazing how “just getting words out” helps our brain move on. Gotta love it! Happy Holidays to you, your husband, and of course Petey.

Oh…now that’s a bridge with character…made me think of the Erie Canal for some reason…maybe just the aged stone.

This one was on the southern half of the Blue Ridge Parkway. I enjoy how my many memories stored over years of experience can be triggered. Life at 70 is so wonderful – but in a very different way than when I was younger.

Me, too, Dawn. I think that my spirit is alive but my body just isn’t cooperating so I feel at odds. Maybe some snow would help. š

I like the peek of the tree. There is always something there in the distance to entice us onward.
