A rock on lush forest floor. The rock is surrounded and partially covered by green forest growth, with conifer needles, lichen, a stick and a couple leafy plants also visible. The rock's exposed surface has a fine-line and intricate pattern of dark marks, probably lichen.

#RockinTuesday Not much to say on this one. I found this reticulated rock in super lush north Idaho inland rainforest last week, a land where most of the rocks are under cedar roots and moss.

A detailed and close up look at a huge gray rock on a beach. The rock shows off lines slanting to the right and left haphazardly throughout with one deep line slanting from top to bottom, right to left. At the bottom of that deep line is a small patch of bright green mossy-looking vegetation. A narrow strip of beach sand is in the foreground.

The details of this huge rock on an Oregon beach fascinated me

If you’re not familiar with the self care app “Finch”, I highly recommend it. Especially if you experience chronic illness/pain. I love that it’s gamified. It’s a motivator for me. 💙

Moving through Felon47’s 4 year interruption, I’m working out what to do to keep healthy AND how to push back. 1.) What money can I give to the organizations that will have the most impact. 2.) How much time can I devote to an issue that is important to me. 3.) What can I do to live my values.

Excellent post
