I wake up early. So I’ve begun to use the time before the sun’s
rays brighten the horizon and the furnace warms the house to wonder about my
dreams, take inventory, plan my day. This
morning my musings centered on the idea “pay attention.” I thought about safety nets, connections. I marveled that two days ago my daughter
sent me a link to a CNN.com cover story of child soldiers, quoting her cousin
who works with a UN agency to try to stop this practice. Yesterday I saw an interview with a young
man who escaped that horror and is turning his life around. Pay attention--safety nets--connections--“isn’t
it awful” can morph into “isn’t it amazing.” While we may think that what we do is
insignificant in the grand scheme of things, we all have our spheres of
influence. It is a worthwhile exercise
to pay attention to what is going on around us and grab opportunities that
may change the course of another person’s life. Evergreen Newcomers is in the business of
promoting and providing connections with people who are new to the community.
Those connections may provide a safety
net for people who are feeling alone and disconnected. Pay attention. So enough mulling. It’s time to get up--but first I have to
dislodge the cat from his cozy place beside me and make sure when I get out
of bed I don’t step on the dog lying beside me. Pay attention! LaDona Thomas Vincent President |

/ (303) 674-0734 / suzschlin@comcast.net Our group generally plans 3+ mile winter hikes using yak tracks or
snowshoes. The severe winter weather
conditions this year have made planning difficult. Consequently, we generally announce hikes
via e-mail on Wednesdays or Thursdays. We will be avoiding many of our proposed
higher elevation hikes due to increased avalanche potential. So join us on those rare mild, sunny Fridays
when cabin fever has seized you and only a fairly local fresh air excursion
will cure you. |
