I love
my high desert
valley,
bordered by
mountains,
mighty moutains.
I love
our seasons,
all four seasons,
spring, summer,
winter, fall.
I love
our extra seasons:
second winter,
summertime spring,
early fall.
Some days
our summer heat
is too hot,
our winter cold,
too bitter.
But I love it.
I love
our rain,
our far too infrequent
rain.
I love
when our rain
cools and
cleans our dry,
dirty air,
scattering
bright fresh
scents across
our wide valley.
I even love
our lake,
our shrinking,
stinky,
salty lake.

What do you love about where you live?

I really hate talking about myself, but if I have to...
I’m K.L. McDaniel, the person behind TheOtherKLM. I’m an introvert with extrovert moments, a fitness-minded person fighting later-age fat, and someone trying to keep life somewhat organized without pretending it isn’t a mess.
Here, I write about the things I keep coming back to: movement, mental health, learning, self-awareness, and the strange little contradictions that make people interesting. I’m not here to act like I have everything figured out. I’m here to think through it, laugh when possible, and maybe find a little balance in the middle of the clutter.
So, that’s me. More or less.
