    Life is good

    It doesn't get much better then this. I went for a short walk this morning in my SK US Army Tartan, Michigan celtic band on the Ipod, Utah mountains in the back ground, very light snow fall, Looking for a 22lbs stone for throwing. My son coming home on leave next friday and going to play the Highland games with me next saturday, life is good.

    Hi WK,

    I know what you mean. I find that it is the small successes/victories/events in life that give me the greatest pleasure. Getting my way at work is just office politics, but having the right change for the coffee machine gives me a warm glow all over and makes the coffee taste better. You are so right Life is Good.

    Regards

    Chas

    I love those moments when everything comes together 'just so' to enhance our appreciation for this wild ride we call life.

    Cheers!

    Sounds like a beautiful walk, and a great start to your week! Hope next weekend with your son is as grand.

    I always feel closer to nature when out and about in a kilt. Maybe its the wind, or the FREEDOM, or both.

    Somewhere there's a story about how Native peoples would laugh at visitors in pants because the visitors couldn't feel ants crawling up their legs - which had been desensitized by their pants.

    Kilts resensitize us to Nature.

    Those walks in nature is church, I feel closer to the Creator. And wearing a kilt, makes me closer those I have descended from. All those feelings combined makes it so special.

    I love that, Ron, both literally and figuratively.

    No question you feel more connected and "present" in a kilt. Pants are prison.

    Glad for your walk, WKJester, and thanks for passing the "good" around!
