Thankful for Less, Segmented Family Time, & the Scent of Soil

Day 2,302

Growth:

Remember how saying little can often say the most. Less words often makes those spoken more meaningful.

Appreciation:

Time with the entire family is wonderful, but so is time with chunks of family. With Gavin supporting his wrestling team at a tournament Becky, Dominic, and I hiked through Wildcat Mountain State Park. The three of us had an awesome time talking on the way there and while hiking. Having a segment of the family changes the dynamics a little and it was great getting more focused time with Dominic.

Presence:

On our hike today Dominic pulled up a chunk of a dead tree off the ground. The faint smell of soil was pure heaven. One of my two favorite smells in the world is fresh topsoil and this brought back a flood of memories from time spent in the woods with my dad. Who knew the scent of dirt could be so captivating???

Thanks!!!
