Day 3,184

Growth:

When the question is asked, “Do you want to go to yoga?” the answer should always be yes. I have yet to regret a single instance of going though I often wonder if I would be better off sleeping in or relaxing at home instead. When in doubt, go stretch out!

Appreciation:

Wowza, it has been a ridiculously busy day, but all in very good ways! From waking up to hit an early morning yoga date with Becky at Root Down to knocking out about a dozen and a half tasks and errands AND spending quite a bit of quality time with each of my family members the day has been a nonstop thrill ride of fun and excitement. What’s even better is that by getting almost everything done today my day tomorrow will be almost on easy mode.

Another aspect of this that I can’t understate is how great it feels to be back in the normal home weekend routine. I love my vacations and travels, but being at home is wonderful sensation after being gone for a little over two straight weeks.

Throw in the bonus time with Becky at yoga and walking Leia (more on that in a minute or two), a nice long phone conversation with Mom, fixing a canopy with Gavin using some inventive solutions, a Menards run with the boys, dinner as a family, and watching the movie Prometheus with boys on the couch and I was busy but in heaven all day long!

Presence:

Getting a walk in with Becky and Leia on a wooded road that is currently closed to cars and had more turtles (a little over half a dozen) than people (zero) led to quality time together in the perfect environment. This coming not too long after yoga added even more chill. I always appreciate time walking in the woods with Becky, one of my favorite activities of all time.

Thanks!!!
