Day 3,256

Growth:

Writing down a goal, even in a very simple manner, can really make a big impact in making it become a reality. Keeping it in front of my eyes daily helps even more. At some point I’m almost more motivated to be able to cross it off the list than I was to accomplish the goal initially!

Appreciation:

We hiked throughout Beaver Creek Valley State Park today and I enjoyed every moment of it! Such a scenic walk through a perfect little slice of the Driftless – woods, creeks, rock formations, hills, and everything one can expect in this region. Walking through that park (as well as a handful of others) helps center my mind. I swear I could wander that park for days on end and not get tired of the view.

Presence:

This long weekend has been such a wellspring of relaxation and calm. So many moments of serenity with no agenda, no plans, and nothing that must be done. For sure, this is really not even close to what my ideal weekend is, but once in a while it really helps to focus my mind and remind me to pause and breathe once in a while.

Thanks!!!
