Beauty

Current Location: Hanover, NEW HAMPSHIRE

Accumulated Miles: 1200ish

A few days ago I stayed at a cabin on the top of a mountain in Vermont. Just a shelter really, but on the top of the mountain... and in the morning I woke up to the sky turning pink and went outside to watch an amazing sunrise.

Vermont was beautiful. Each day the scenery changed bunches of times, there were some great views (and tough climbs). New Hampshire will be beautiful too, although the White Mountains seem intimidating, I know I can do it.

Beauty. It's surrounding me every day. In the simplicity of hiking, in the laughter I share with friends, in the journey I find myself on, in the things God is teaching me. Beauty.

I want to be a person who embraces the beautiful parts of life. I tend to be a "glass half full" girl to begin with... and I love unexpected glimpses into the beautiful life. When this crazy experience ends I want to be a person who embraces beauty, not rushes on by it. I want to embrace these moments that are for now... not forever... these opportunities to be surprised and blessed by the beauty all around me.

I want to live in the moment, to embrace the day, not move so quickly through life that I miss the joys of today.

love yous!
