Day 2,978

Growth:

Some of the best and most heartfelt traditions live on for generations and create a ton of joy and smiles year after year after year. Here’s to two of my mentors for creating a Thanksgiving tradition that still continues well over 30 years later. What an awesomely positive impact they’ve had on so many through their generosity, giving, and love!

Appreciation:

Dominic and I had put together the backbone of our trip to Patagonia in March, today we started to flesh out all the details. In many ways the construction of a vacation is so similar to a woodworking project. Start with an idea, get the structure built, and then fill in al the details and character. As with any project – it is guaranteed to not go exactly as planned and that’s all good too. We’ll adapt, adjust, and make the best of any curveballs we get thrown our way. Seeing the details start to take shape has me sooooooo excited!

Presence:

Hanging out with Dominic today was the highlight of my day! We got a bunch of time together from the point I picked him up from the train station until just about supper time. It was just the two of us (& Leia) and we talked about fun stuff, school stuff, and vacation stuff. Having that bonus one on one time was heartwarming and I’m looking forward to more of that over the next couple of days.

Thanks!!!
