Day date 2, back to Antelope island.

 

We missed a week of going out exploring due to 
Everyone in our house getting Covid!
I had a fever for 3 days.
During our illness it snowed, and snowed and snowed.

So when we finally felt better this past week,
We went out to Antelope island.

We have never been there in the snow. 
It looked so beautiful.

Little bird came and checked out the snow.
She also liked seeing the bison 🦬.



While driving around, we found the herd of bison 🦬 
Right next to the road. So we pulled over and watched them.
We even got to see two have a little fight.

We also saw the coyote, and hawks and 
Some bald eagles.

Fall and winter are the best times to visit antelope island,
Because you don’t get swarmed by bugs.
Are you enjoying winter?
Do you have a favorite place to explore?

My new year word is “ Journey “

 



Do you pick a word for the new year?
This year I chose the word “Journey”

I have a lot of goals, but what I have learned is that 
To get where I want to go on my journey this year,
I need to focus on the steps to get there.

So many of my posts will have little foot 🦶 prints.
Marking the steps I’m taking.

Some of my goals for the new year are:
Renew my relationship with God.
Eat healthy 
Declutter my basement 
Stay physically fit 
Work on family history 
Organize my photography 
Enjoy weekly dates with my husband.
Lots of steps will need to be taken this year.

I find these inspiring quotes on Facebook.
It was like a sign that I chose the right word for my year,
When I found this quote.
Tell me your word of the year. Why did you choose it?
What are your new year goals?

The first date of 2024. Antelope island Utah.

We went on our first date of the new year on January 2nd.
At our house it was sunny and bright. 
At Antelope island it was moody and misty.
We bought our state park pass. 

Being a bit silly I brought a little friend on our adventure.
Do you see my little bird friend?

Here is the little adventure bird. Ready to explore the 
Utah terrain. Just don’t go to close to the water little bird,
The mud can be really bad.

Usually you can see for miles. Today it was hard to see 
A few feet 👣 in front of us.

We are lost in the mist.

I liked how the mist made it feel so stark and moody.




The sun tried to make an appearance.

Up at the visitor center we were above the clouds,
And got some fun photos.

On the way to the visitor center we saw some bison 🦬 
With birds on them. Little bird 
Wanted to try sitting on some animals.

Brave little bird flew all the way to the top of the deers head.
She also enjoyed standing on the bison. 


We had a nice first day date. 
To many fun adventures this year.

Here is a bison with some bird friends. 

They are so incredibly big animals. Good thing I have a zoom lens for my camera.

Hope you enjoyed little birds adventure.

Reflecting on my accomplishments and failures in 2023

 

Do you make goals at the new year?
I do.  So as the new year begins I have been looking back and thinking about what I accomplished and what I failed to accomplish.
This year I began the journey of eating healthy. I did pretty good. I eat really healthy breakfasts, and snack a lot less than at the start of last year.
I continued to exercise. I am now jogging for most of my workouts. I did lots of little walking challenges. I did over 300 exercise workouts with my fitness program.
I trained lots of new people for my work. I got a really nice compliment from my supervisor that my team is great and that they are productive and love me.

My failures, I wanted to color a whole coloring book. I didn’t accomplish that. I did get some pages colored but not a whole book. I didn’t get my downstairs cleaned and organized. I got a lot removed, but there is still more to do.
I didn’t attend church often.  At the end of the year I did better, but I have work to do. 
I didn’t get my family history information organized.

Here is a photo of all my little coin rewards for walking.



I did a lot of walking in 2023. 
Soon I will share my 2024 goals. 
I even have a theme and word for 2024.
