AFTER THE STORM

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/12/05

Nature gave us about 9 inches of fresh snow, and the driveway turned to ice after being plowed, and that required us to spend a couple of hours sanding to make it passable. We were greeted with a beautiful sunset to help ease the complications of the day. Nature can give us something every day to help keep us on an even keel. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

AN UNEXPECTED VISITOR

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/12/04

We have several varieties of winter birds at our feeders throughout the season. The other day I noticed a different pair of birds that seemed to be a long way from their natural habitat: Carolina wrens, probably blown here by a storm. Unexpected visitors always provide an opportunity to learn something different about life. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

I'M DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/12/03

All indications are that we will have a white Christmas here in the mountains of New Hampshire. I am reminded that when we think of something in the future as already happening, we are sending out an energy that is manifesting what we are dreaming of. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

I STILL BELIEVE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/12/02

I still believe in Santa Claus, and I have one that has a special place in my heart. It is one my wife made years ago and donated to a church sale. A few years ago, I found it for sale again for 25 cents. I call it a Christmas miracle. Today my belief in Santa is the spirit of giving and not the figure. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

WINTER

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/12/01

Today is the first day of meteorological winter. Those who haven’t gone south to escape the cold are hunkered down for expected storms ahead while others are embracing the cold. The weather is a part of all our lives, and I choose to be grateful each day for something that warms my heart, and hopefully others’, as I focus toward the first day of spring. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

CAN YOU SEE WHAT I SEE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/11/30

When I gazed out the window at a tree with two burls growing close to each other, I could see faces: one a profile and the other looking right at me. I wondered if anyone else could see the same thing. I have learned that there are no two people that see the world the same way. That is what makes life so interesting. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

OUR VIEW OF THE MOUNTAIN

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/11/29

Mount Washington stands proud and tall as it displays its nearly record setting snowfall for the month of November. Our view is different from others’, and it is always changing. There are people that stand tall above others that silently go about doing good. They often see life differently. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

ACTS OF KINDNESS

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/11/28

We are fortunate to receive many acts of kindness every day. Often it is someone’s kind supportive word, and the other day a young lady connected to the Center brought her leaf blower and proceeded to spend the day clearing our lawn. Another one has patched the Center’s roof. You can change someone’s life for the better with an act of kindness. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

A SPECIAL DAY TO BE THANKFUL

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/11/27

Thanksgiving is a very special day in this country to celebrate the things we are thankful for, including family and friends. I am thankful for the turkeys that find nourishment on the grounds at the Center. They help prepare the soil for new growth in the spring. We can grow positive thoughts and actions every day by setting our intentions to do so. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

I JUST CAN'T HELP IT

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/11/26

There are some things I just can’t help, like taking pictures of sunsets. It is not what I do with them, as much as seeing them again. It is a positive habit that provides gratitude for my heart. Of course, we all have negative habits too, such as overeating or negative thoughts that keep replaying in our minds. Sunsets can smooth those over for me. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

A GHOST OF YEARS PAST

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/11/25

Now that the leaves are gone, we discovered an old battered and torn hornets’ nest clinging onto a limb several feet above the ground. It hangs there like a ghost from the past. Many people have ghosts from past negative events in their lives that hang on year after year. Moving on may take love, forgiveness and the realization that it is time to let them go. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

ONE DAY AT A TIME

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/11/24

As we start the last week of November, we still do not have snow on the ground. We wait and watch one day at a time with the expectation that the holidays will have a coating of white. We also look at life one day at a time, but unlike many who have negative expectations, our goal is for positive days that bring joy into others’ lives. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

FROZEN GLOBS

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/11/23

When I was grading with the tractor recently, I plowed up 2-inch sheets of loam that had begun to freeze. They looked like blobs of earth. I was reminded that surface appearances in life may be a little different underneath. At least we can set positive goals for finding the best in what we discover. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

IN NEED OF SOME PRUNING

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/11/22

The old apple trees in the orchard are slowly dying off. Many of them have a disease called fire blight that is spread by pruning without sterilizing the blade after each cut, so we have left them alone. In life we often surround ourselves with things and thoughts that are time to “prune”. Thinking of what might be positive with the change can help you make decisions. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

FOLLOWING THE WALLS

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/11/21

There are a lot of stonewalls on the Center’s land, created a couple of hundred years ago when the land was cleared for farming. Since then, after the settlers gave up, the forest has returned, but the walls remain. In late fall and winter, they are easier to follow than in the summer. Sometimes our soul’s path is hard to follow; one step at a time can help you progress. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

ENJOYING THE PERIWINKLE VINE BEFORE THE SNOW ARRIVES

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/11/20

There is not a lot of color in this drab part of fall before the snow arrives. I appreciate the periwinkle vines that have spread at the base of a stone wall with their green variegated colors. When life seems drab, your simple positive acts of kindness can add color. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

STAYING VIGILANT

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/11/19

So far, we have not received any snow more than a couple of traces that have melted. That said, we are constantly vigilant to the weather, knowing it is only a matter of time before the first major snow arrives. We can prepare or not. We can fear it or not. What we think and do can affect our whole being. There is a lot to be vigilant about in life. I prefer to trust in positive outcomes. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

THE WEATHERED SIDE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/11/18

The old tree at the side of the Orchard has been buffeted by the north winds over the years and has grown a coating of fungus on the side, perhaps to protect itself from the weather. People are often affected by the weather of life, and grow their bodies, minds, and outlooks to protect themselves from the environment they live in. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

MY HEART IS FULL WHEN THE PARKING LOT IS FULL

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/11/17

I looked out over the parking lot at the Center when the volunteers were working on the ski trails and my heart was filled with joy and gratitude. Actually, even just one car in the lot gives me the same feeling as I know someone is finding joy in Nature as I do.

AMONG THE BIRCHES

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/11/16

I can remember years ago looking forward to driving along a certain birch lined road. I get the same feeling when I am among the white birches on the mountain. I think we all have a positive memory that we recall from time to time. It may be among something in nature or among like-minded people. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show
