Telluride, Colorado - by David Iwane

If you set a boundary and someone else is disappointed or angry or upset, that reaction does not mean you’re not allowed to set boundaries or that it was wrong of you to do that.

If you ask someone for something and they say no, that does not mean you shouldn’t ask for things or that it was wrong of you to ask. Saying no to something, even if you really want it, is not (by itself) an attack on you, either.

There will be times in every good relationship where one person says no to what the other person wants. And there will be times when that answer feels bad to the other person.

That can be uncomfortable, but it’s healthy and good to be able to say no to each other. It’s healthy and good to ask each other for things and give the other person the chance to say yes or no. It’s healthy and good for each of you to be able to hear “no” and accept it even when it’s disappointing.

It’s healthy and good to own your emotional reaction and make sure you both agree that being upset is a normal and manageable feeling, not a crisis that requires someone to give up their boundaries.

Rephotographing Route 66: Animated GIFs Showing 1930-1970 Scenes Compared to Today

Route 66 is a famous highway that crosses the United States, connecting Santa Monica, California on the west with Chicago, Illinois toward the east. It was one of the original highways of the US Highway System.

The route is also the subject of a project by photographer Natalie Slater, titled “The Mother Road Revisited.” Slater found old photos of the route from decades ago and rephotographed them as they appear today.

Sometime in the near future I plan on driving the whole length of Route 66. I’ve driven portions of it here and there but never the whole length. I just need to come up with some new and creative idea that hasn’t been done before to photograph my journey.

San Juan Mountains, Colorado - by Guy Schmickle

I feel like I’m always holding back when it comes to self expression in any form because I feel like the circumstances always need to be perfect. Is the blog audience appropriate enough, do you know what you are talking about enough, do people want to listen enough, are you really that exciting enough? Enough with the enoughs, at the end of the day I don’t even really care about these things. At the end of the day the majority of the joy in this will be in the writing and creating, and in the years later looking it over and laughing. It really isn’t about those other things. Say people do end up liking what I have posted? Well ya know we can cross that bridge when we get there sort of thing. Hiking, social working; it may not be everybody’s thing but they’re my things and that’s entirely okay. Another enough question that did just float by is: “is this private enough?”. Well that enough needs to be considered.
