Afterwards

 I did not write this - but WOW does it speak to my heart!!! Worth the read.

Barely had the day started and... it's already six in the evening.

Barely arrived on Monday, and it's already Friday.

... and the month is already over.

... and the year is almost over.

... and already 40, 50 or 60 years of our lives have passed.

... and we realise that we lost our parents, friends.

and we realise it's too late to go back...

So... Let's try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time...

Let's keep looking for activities that we like...

Let's put some colour in our grey...

Let's smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts.

And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left. Let's try to eliminate the afters...

I'm doing it after...

I'll say after...

I'll think about it after...

We leave everything for later, like ′′ after ′′ is ours.

Because what we don't understand is that:

Afterwards, the coffee gets cold...

afterwards, priorities change...

Afterwards, the charm is broken...

afterwards, health passes...

Afterwards, the kids grow up...

Afterwards, parents get old...

Afterwards, promises are forgotten...

afterwards, the day becomes the night...

afterwards life ends...

And then it's often too late....

So... Let's leave nothing for later...

Because still waiting to see you later, we can lose the best moments,

the best experiences,

best friends,

the best family...

The day is today... The moment is now...

We are no longer at the age where we can afford to postpone what needs to be done right away.

So let's see if you have time to read this message and then share it.

Or maybe you'll leave it for... ′′ later "...

And you'll never share it....

What Makes It Matter

 So true!

Wildlife Overpass in Colorado

A major step forward in coexistence is taking shape in Colorado, where the largest wildlife overpass in North America now provides a safe path for animals to cross busy highways. Built over one of the state’s most traveled interstates, this structure helps species like elk, deer, and bears move freely across their natural migration routes—without the danger of high-speed traffic.

For years, this area was known for frequent and often deadly wildlife collisions, putting both animals and drivers at risk. By creating a dedicated crossing that feels like part of the landscape—complete with soil, native plants, and natural features—the overpass encourages animals to use it instinctively. Fencing along the roadway helps guide them toward the bridge, making the system more effective and safer for everyone.

This project reflects a thoughtful shift in how infrastructure can support both people and the natural world. Reconnecting habitats while reducing accidents shows what’s possible when design considers long-term balance. It’s a reminder that progress can include protection, not just expansion. What are your thoughts on projects like this that bring safety and nature together?

Awesome!

Happy "Heavenly" 68th Birthday, Rex

This is a picture of my hunting friend, Rex Dean Howell, and me taking a break during a workday at the famous Christmas Place Plantation Hunting Club on the edge of the MS Delta.  He is wearing a T-shirt that was given to him by my former step-daughter, Karen, and hubby Ron Whitmore, who owned Artisans Santa Fe art supplies in Santa Fe, NM.  He is proudly wearing it.  He died on January 31, 2021 (the last day of hunting season) and would have turned 68 today.  I miss our hunting and work days, which were so much fun.  I feel very fortunate to have known him, and I miss him, his family, and his hunting friends.
