Saw the most touching movie tonight. “Living” highly recommended.

Feeling grateful for spaciousness lately. For possibility and friendship at work. It’s easy to get lost in the hard moments and not see moments of space so I wanted to record this moment of ease.

I love watching the planes take off and land. That sound when the plane is just about to take off always makes me think of magic and wonder. I love it.

Grateful for wonder and joy today.

He is 18 today. How does that even happen. I’m so grateful for this kid who is kind, smart, generous and always always says yes to hugs.

I love you more than there are words.

Happy birthday my angel.

Our first time back at the kids’ school since before the pandemic. It was so good to be in a room together again and to laugh and see the people we love.

I’m so grateful.

Mondays come with so much pressure. I’ve been thinking about what would make Monday a perfect day for me. I’d like it to be the kind of day I look forward to.

I wonder what would make it so.

I am wondering lately how much more time I would have if I didn’t have Instagram installed.

Even though I was out of breath several times hiking uphill and failed to send the second route and it was incredibly hot and sunny, I am always glad when we go into the wild together. The fresh air is always the best.

I love being at home and always forget how good vacation can be for the soul.

Listening to “Man’s Search for Meaning” again. So horrifying and so hope filling at the same time. It’s amazing what we can endure and amazing how resilient we are.

I keep having to remind myself to slow down. I keep having to write things down to stop my brain from going a mile a minute. I keep having to remind myself that it’s ok to slow down, to do less, to rest, to just be.

And just like that we’re done with January.

Feeling grateful for the days that are getting longer, the weather getting sunnier and grateful that we are all here still showing up and doing life the best way we can.

Here’s to staying open and welcoming whatever comes next.
