the view from here

A few scenes I've taken in since leaving Atlanta on Friday...

View of Anchorage from Point Woronzof

snow covered mountains coming into Seattle

Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams, I do believe, on approach into SEA-TAC

the beauty of untouched land just before initial descent into ANC

spring time in AK...

day at the beach...a great reminder that the tide comes in fast here

Point Woronzof is right by the airport, so you have plans taking off directly over your head.

Mt. Susitna...The Sleeping Lady...love seeing her with snow!

I had just said I had never seen black sand before...but I was mistaken. :)

downtown Anchorage

around the bend at PW

dandelions with a view

Chugach Mountain range has been entirely visible for the 4 days I've been here...unheard of great weather this week!

I will never tire of this view...

it's not about me

I reminded myself of this recently. It's not about me at all, this wellness journey I am on to a healhier version of myself. Not at all. Never has been, really.

home of the Braves

As a metro Atlanta resident, it seems almost a requirement to go to a Braves game to continue living here. I grew up watching baseball and loving the game...and have been to a few games in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit...and of course, Atlanta. The problem for me going to a Braves game is purely mental...having been a Mets and Cardinals fan for years, I just haven't the love necessary for the Braves to call me a fan.

I go watch the Braves because I love my boys...and my boys and I love baseball. Well, they love what they know of the game...still in training, but getting the hang of the lingo and SOP's of a baseball fan rather well. There are a few things that remain the same from stadium to stadium..."the wave" (Braves' attendees do not always get into this, which is very di...

Go. Be. Do.
