10

Reflecting on 10 things I am grateful for.

1. A goofy, smiling, unstoppable force of a child. 
2. My health & the good health of my family & friends. 
3. The bonds of family & friends that stand the test of time & distance. 
4. Laughter. 
5. Forgiveness of self for imperfections. 
6. A drive to keep trying. Roadblocks are opportunities. 
7. The future: a chance to try again & to practice. 
8. Loyalty. Focusing on what matters & staying true to these gems. 
9. The shade. In our hikes, we find the shade gives us moments of coverage & rest. A metaphorical shade in life is there for you when you need rest. 
10. Deep, cleansing breaths. Nothing is perfect & that is okay. Breathe. 

I am on the pursuit of happiness. I hope you join me.
