I went as a pair of dice this year. The top spun to make it interesting. I was a bit lost, wandering around at work. I’ll let you connect that to the literary legend. #costume #thirdplace🥉 (at Springboro, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVwueQTLh9U/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m trying to remind myself to enjoy the season. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE winter. But life has many seasons. Many types of seasons. Some feel cold and desolate. I think it’s been easy for many people to talk about loneliness during lockdowns. Instead of thinking of this as being “stuck” somewhere maybe I can think of it as an opportunity to grow. If you’re reading this I hope you cling to hope for a new spring coming soon. A time where everything feels fresh and green and smells like lilies or gardenias or jasmine. 🌸 It’s coming soon. 😊 #hope #gratitude #lovinglife #season #winter #sadness #depression #help #staypositive (at Centerville, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLVGjLohBGW/?igshid=pnv2jp271e9r

I went to the southwestern tip of Ohio to photograph a bridge. Instead, I got a tree stump, a cabin, and my steak dinner. So, yeah I’m doing that Insta thing. #itwasagoodday #gratitude #grateful #traveling #food #yum #lovinglife #spilledpotatoes (at Shawnee Lookout) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK-NllZh6XE/?igshid=bhxqn1ugkb4q
