in the past weeks I've spent significantly less time on social media + my camera roll knows it...I'm taking far fewer photos. partly because I'm on the same trails/sidewalks over + over, but also because I've become hyper aware of what I'm sharing.
°
I live in an area that's gorgeous to look at year round. I have access to uphill pavement + dirt ribbon trails out my back door. I have the physical ability to get outside every day. I have a lot of things that look cool in the insta.
°
I've worked hard for this life, but I'm also incredibly lucky that everything worked out the way it did...especially now when the world is throwing a wrench into so many life plans. °
because of this I have been hesitant to overshare the more beautiful + double tap worthy snapshots from my life...so you get this beaut instead! 🤷‍♀️🙄.
°
I am struggling with my own version of FOMO [because we're all entitled to those feelings, always] + don't want to contribute to anyone else's feelings of "that's not fair" or "I wish I could do that", because those feelings can quickly trash a perfectly good day.
°
this isn't meant to be a humble brag or a statement without perspective...I just want to share a little insight into my own use of social media these days. if my posts are missing here [or on FB, which I've deactivated] know that I'm still here in the background, digesting + coping + pivoting my way thru life...with a fair bit of success.

...may your day be slightly less awkward than this photo, which I'm using as proof that I've lost my skills counting down with the self timer!

>> right here, right now...because we aren't there

>> right here, right now...because we aren't there yet + it isn't then yet. <<
°
focusing on the here + now has ALWAYS been a challenge for me. I prefer to plot + plan, often forgetting to soak up the moment I'm in.
°
lately, with so many unknowns, my life has begun to truly revolve around the here + now.
°
my daily outings have been decided by the current weather, my to-do list has been dictated by what's readily available to me, the Adventure Feet First Neighborhood Adventures launched to meet an immediate need...all because I have no choice but to live in the moment.
°
don't get my wrong, I'd love to be able to spend my time planning a wedding in the Swiss Alps or a bike-packing trip around a Great Lake or a summer of state park camping...but I can't, so I'm settling with soaking up + embracing the here + now.
°
with that in mind, let's weekend!

•• there's Wednesday + Hump Day...+ then there

•• there's Wednesday + Hump Day...+ then there's Mid-week Monday. phew. #funfactswithheidi ••
•
today was a Mid-week Monday on so many levels...none of which came with reasons I could articulate. things just weren't working right, so I gave up around noon + decided today should be treated like the freaking weekend.
•
I left the computer behind, lapped up some sunshine + plopped myself on the couch with an audiobook + crochet hook.
•
it almost worked!
•
almost mostly.
•
+ was most definitely worth it.
•
with all the days blending together I've decided I get full control over my down days. lately they've been chosen based upon the forecast, but today's mental down day was exactly what my brain needed. especially with the ridiculous hallmark-eske book I listened to!

>> do it for the downhill! <<
°
nearly every day I find myself feeling incredibly thankful for the views surrounding my neighborhood...yup, even before COVID trapped me here.
°
that said, these views also come with uphills, both ways + sometimes in two feet of snow. my legs just wanted you to know that, because they're reminded of it on every freaking run.
°
we live half way up a mountain road...running [+ biking + hiking] uphill is required for every single outdoor adventure.
°
I might be in pavement but my trail run-der thighs are going to be ready to take on mountains when the trails dry up, my legs promise me this!
