Day 4,067

After a couple of nights of going way deeper than expected, this one is much lighter fare!

This morning kicked off with a leisurely rise out of bed, stretch, have a little coffee, and then head out to the woods for a beautiful hike! Becky and I took Leia on one of our favorite trails in Hixon and saw very few people on the trail. The conditions were perfect, the sun was bright, the sky blue, and the leaves rustling on the trail with every footstep.

Throughout the hike we took in the world around us while also spending much of our time talking of matters of consequence – memories of raising our sons, past shared experiences, happenings at work, and the long term dreams we share. An opportunity for us to connect with no distractions, time to be and relax together.

Afterwards we did much of the adulting for the weekend, knocking out way more from our to do lists than either of us expected, and then we crashed on the couch, sitting near each other as we both read. Now I’m typing, soon I’ll be back to reading, and then I’ll be off for a nice early bed time. A full night of sleep, and then back off to the woods as we get another hike in tomorrow morning!

Cannot begin to overstate just how much I appreciate the shared passion we have for the outdoors and nature, it helps strengthen our bond while also being the mana both our souls need.

Thanks!!!
