December 6, 2025 The Nighttime Warm Winds

We are experiencing nighttime and early morning warmish winds, the kind of winds I love to put my face into and feel the exhilaration from and wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour. Thank God all the leaves are off the trees this time of year. Last year our neighboring building experienced two trees crashing into it from the November bomb-cyclone of 2024. The trees that fell into their building were just feet from us. We had guardian angels watching over us that night. It truly would have been a different story last year for us if the trees fell into our home. They didn’t complete the repairs on that building until just a few months ago and no one lived there the entire time it needed repairs. 

I feel like I’m in a dawning of my life. Yes, I need to create an income from a full-time working life, but at the same time I want to self-educate. Classes to pursue Meteorology, classes or lessons to become a better camera person; yes, I have talent, but I want my skills to grow. Sometimes I fantasize that I can go to school full time and just immerse myself in studies, but something I’ve learned is that the upper-level math concepts are hard. There is a restructuring of my brain taking place. It is both physical and mental and requires endurance on my part. It is painful and emotional, and I find that if I have work to do it does give me a little break from that experience. Knowing a job well and giving into that repetition can provide a kind of rest for the soul. It will be lifelong learning for me even though my life transition feels like I am laying a foundation again. So much for the foundation. It will be laid. I hope this finds you well. Thank you.
