Day 3,506

Growth:

This book, one of the most influential I’ve ever read. Though I’ve read it more times than I can count I always walk away with a new insight and stronger resolve. Truly a work of art.

Appreciation & Presence:

Our hike in Beaver Creek Valley State Park was outstanding today! Several trips up and down the bluffs, it was exactly the workout I was hoping for. There were so many different types of birds throughout, in one stretch my bird sound app picked up over two dozen different types while the visuals we had of the birds were vibrant! Throw in more than a dozen trout chilling in the pools of the stream and it was pretty much nonstop wildlife beyond every corner. And I haven’t even started on the plants… so green and alive! We can’t begin to count how many different types of flowers there were, how many plants, they were nonstop!

I cannot think of any better way to spend a big chunk of a day than outside soaking in the sights like this, uncoupled from news and media, spending bonus time with Becky, and getting an invigorating workout in.

Thanks!!!
