An inspirational post, enjoyed with my early morning coffee. Thoughts of Prague - so many lovely photographs to discover and make - and thoughts of end of life writing - positive thoughts of a topic I’d normally avoid - cause me to smile. Your procrastination has inspired my own. Though I could lead a workshop on procrastination, especially pre-travel procrastination, I enjoy learning more ways to improve my skills. Thanks! Prague in the spring will be so fun!

Thank you, Jim. I'm glad I inspired you to... procrastinate?! Ah, to think of Prague and photography and even "end-of-life writing"--if we don't write our stories, who will?

So excited that you are off to Prague! Thank you for sharing your ideas and thoughts. It’s inspiring (though I am occasionally intimidated). Can’t wait to hear what’s next!

Intimidated? Goes both ways, girlfriend, you who hike Himalayas and ski around the globe! It's good we challenge each other (and challenge ourselves).

That's cuz climbing in the Himalayas and skiing around the globe are easier than writing.

Oh, Dear Sonnin. I am stunned to hear this news. I remember when Whitman was born and have fond memories of hanging out with you and all the kids. You wrote a beautiful tribute to your son--the most difficult words a mother ever composes and the most difficult loss to endure. Thank you for bringing us into your sphere of grief and your circle of pride as Hawk's mama. We grieve with you. p.s. "Liked" is a mis-labeling, but the little heart communicates big love for you and your family.

I never thought I would have to write an obituary for a child. https://www.hoodmortuary.com/obituaries/whitman-waters
