Today is a strange day for me. It used to be a very special day, but now it has a bitter shadow over it. I tried to shake the shadow by going snowshoeing, but in many ways, it just brought the shadow closer. I tried eating my very favorite lunch ever at Trudy's Kitchen in Idaho City. It helped the hunger pangs, but not the shadow. I tried napping - just nightmares. I then went on a date with a good friend. That helped the most, but I still felt on the verge of melancholy all evening. At least my roomie is back home to help keep me more sane. Tomorrow, I talk in church. Tonight, I must sleep and try to reflect on the good in my life. Good: I look pretty good getting ready for the trail (I used the tripod). Good: Koda LOVES playing in the snow. In fact, he decided to follow his own trail across this small (1 foot wide) stream, but then couldn't figure out how to get back. I finally realized I hadn't seen him in a while and called for him. I heard him panting before I heard his collar. He was completely worn out plowing through almost 3 feet of untouched powdery snow. I had to lead him back to where he originally crossed the stream. He hates getting wet. Good: It was a beautiful day! Good: I have no idea what these tracks are - maybe a rabbit?
