Celebrating milestones is one of the ways we mark life's most important memories. This year, our Nation is celebrating the centennial of our National Park Service, but I must admit, I'm more excited about my youngest granddaughter's first birthday in a few days. Other exciting upcoming milestones are the 10th anniversary of the Wyoming horseback writing retreats, the 20th anniversary of my river adventures for women, and the 5th "Weaving Words & Women" retreat in magical Peru.
A milestone can offer time to reflect on the past and time to envision the future. I live in a community where my neighbors are just a "stone's throw away." I like to think that we all live in a country where hope is just around the bend.
Wishing you autumn blessings, Page

I have ever read......” Marcel Rodriguez, Utah
