MikeMc @mainemike.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I have people tell me that it’s too dark and grey in January. Sure, it’s true, but have you ever noticed the brilliant colors of the winter sunrise and sunset😌 0171
MikeMc @mainemike.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Even the clematis has to persevere under the chill of ice and snow against its brittle bones, so that one day all will stand in awe of its majestic beauty. 091
MikeMc @mainemike.bsky.social · 06/01/2026I’m careful not to give my personal cell phone number out to any business, yet I still get these random spam texts. This one came in as I was walking to my counseling office after a two week break. I wanted to text back and thank them!! But, I didn’t. You can😏 120
MikeMc @mainemike.bsky.social · 05/01/2026Two weeks of holiday activities, teaching skiing, and battling a stubborn ear infection, yesterday was a day to slow down and reflect. Taking in the quiet of winter on a chilly walk and realizing growth doesn’t happen instantly. There’s a long, slow build up to spring. That thought is comforting 070
MikeMc @mainemike.bsky.social · 23/12/2025I don’t get my increased blood pressure. I run, eat a heart healthy diet, sleep well, manage my stress. What else can I do?

MikeMc @mainemike.bsky.social · 17/12/2025I’ve struggled with Christmas since the passing of Maureen. Even more so now that the kids are at school or on their own. The winter solstice is a more meaningful day to me, so I’ll put up a tree and decorate it on the solstice, when the kids are home🤷♂️. 060
MikeMc @mainemike.bsky.social · 16/12/2025My counseling props include the usual to provide a soothing and welcoming space. Games, plants, tissues. All watched over by the Incredible Hulk, because he’s the most relatable prop I could find to help men understand emotional regulation🤷♂️. It works😏. 130

MikeMc @mainemike.bsky.social · 06/12/2025I work at home on Friday, and my home office looks out over this view. I looked up and noticed this scene and had to walk outside to take it in. I could never work without access or a view to the outdoors and never have. 060

MikeMc @mainemike.bsky.social · 04/12/2025First snow on the coast. A gentle blanket of white seems appropriate for December. 080
MikeMc @mainemike.bsky.social · 01/12/2025Over break, I didn’t get caught up on any of that stuff that I said I would. I did spend a couple days with my 4 amazing kids, precious family time, ski with my ski peeps and son, play soccer & wasted a day doing nothing at all. Ready to savor this last month of 2025 and ease into what’s next. 190
MikeMc @mainemike.bsky.social · 25/11/2025When you lose a spouse, the life you pictured is immediately erased, and replaced with uncertainty and unpredictability. It’s overwhelming, the possibilities, yet somehow comforting. The adventure of becoming. Letting it happen. 050
MikeMc @mainemike.bsky.social · 24/11/2025Day one on the slopes. Nice to be back at my happy place and run into (not literally!) lots of my peeps 070
MikeMc @mainemike.bsky.social · 19/11/2025When we had our small farm, Emmy Lou was our proud protector. A Great Pyrenees that took her job seriously, yet also wanted to climb onto our laps for some loving. Best dog ever. 280
MikeMc @mainemike.bsky.social · 18/11/2025I’m not a lazy person. Quite the opposite, actually. I’m often unproductive because of poor planning and organizational skills that I’m constantly trying to work on. Poor organizational skills lead to: confusion, fear, lack of interest, overwhelm, and distraction. A common theme. 020
MikeMc @mainemike.bsky.social · 16/11/2025Brilliant sun that warms the soul on this late fall day. 🌞☺️ 2170

MikeMc @mainemike.bsky.social · 27/10/2025I picked these before the frost and hung them in a closet for a few weeks. Strawflower, zinnias, cornflower. One for the kitchen and one for my counseling space. Subtle beauty of the stillness. 2180
