Day 3,780

Growth:

Reading and re-reading books, amazing at how everything strikes just a little different each new read. As I’ve written before, I love the phrase, no one steps in the same river twice, the river is constantly changing, as are we. Re-reading The Book of Joy has already caught me slightly differently than in the past. In the past thirteen months I’ve read a handful of books which have helped to shift my perspective a bit – including The Choice, Man’s Search for Meaning, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, and Endurance. As I read The Book of Joy this time through I keep finding myself drawn in more and more deeply.

Appreciation:

There are some people who will push us outside of our comfort zone, they push us past the edge of where we think we can go, and help us grow. Whether it is something like coaching us through a difficult professional challenge or helping us look at the world through a slightly different perspective or as simple as helping us stretch a little further in a yoga pose, the friends that are willing to push us to better than we were are the friends we should surround ourselves with.

Presence:

After a week of frigid weather we got our first run in with the three of us together in over a week! Having Becky with Leia and I made the pack feel complete, what a perfect way to kick off the week! Regardless of how the rest of the day would pan out we started with a cool run under the full-ish moon and on fresh snow – can’t go wrong with a start like that!

Thanks!!!
