Not to be negative on "the optimism blog" or anything but looking for positive news takes a while! Seems like no one wants to talk about the good things that are happening out in the world.

I do though so here is a brief article about a 34 year old "British adventurer" (so awesome) who became the first woman to ski alone across Antarctica. It took her 59 cold hard days and she traveled more than 1,084 miles. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2017310369_apaaantarcticasolocrossing.html

This lady is bad ass, I could barely trudge to the Mexican restaurant up the street in the snow storm here in Seattle. She took the picture herself and look she is almost smiling!

 Lets all try to be a little more adventurous and optimistic!

  1. Franny we were snowed in and Mike's truck was broken and for three days we didn't even leave the house! Snow makes Mike grumpy. Chani, too. She looked so cranky walking around on the ice layer that we had at the very end on top of all that snow.
