Over the past few weeks Danny and I have been on the search for new trails in our beautiful Rocky Mountains. It's so nice to get away from the city for a few hours and breathe in the fresh air.
"Are not the mountains, waves and skies, a part of me and of my soul, as I of them?" - Lord Byron
It always seems that when I get myself to a lookout like this, my stresses and worries get a little bit smaller and I just feel so thankful for this body that moves and feels and grows.
A few weeks ago Danny and I saw a movie called, The Space Between Us. It was a cheesy teen romance and I loved everything about it -- but, the part that stuck with me the most was that this boy, who's lived on Mars his whole life and finally gets to visit Earth, asks everyone he meets this question: What's your favorite thing about Earth?
And for me, it's the mountains and the skies and the water and the trees. These things are so full of life and wonder and they make me so happy to be breathing. Our world can be a scary place these days, but in so many ways -- this planet of ours -- it is still so beautiful.
