Day 2,864

Growth:

Nothing like the grandeur and majesty of mountains to quickly remind us of our place as humans. They’ve been here since long before us and they’ll still be towering over long after we’re gone. The sense of awe and humility when in the presence of mountains is medicine for the soul.

Appreciation:

Today was a relatively long trace day but it started out as almost all Mondays do – waking up before 4:45am and getting in a four mile run. Knowing we’d be sitting s lot today we decided to get done exercise in before travel. It felt great to get moving, it felt better when I was sitting to know I’d already gotten some exercise in, and I’m going to sleep so much better now as a result. So easy to sleep in, so much more rewarding to wake up and move.

Presence:

The sounds of the oohs, ahhs, and wows from the backseat were priceless!!! The ones from Becky and I in the front sweet were awesome too! So happy to be sharing one out favorite places with the boys, so many magical moments already, and we were just driving today…. Bring on the hiking!!!

Thanks!!!
