Last week my friend Patrick sent me a picture of me
(does that sentence make sense to anyone but me?!). 
At the time I told him I hated it because I look like... well, goof troop really.

He says its his favorite.
 My friend Betsie told me it makes me look like a blind person.

This picture makes me laugh though... and I put it here because today, in Ohio, I want to remember days like this... a beautiful day in Vermont with a surprise deli and an unexpected slack pack into Hanover, NH.
A beautiful day on the trail...
enjoying sunshine, friends, laughter, and trail magic beauty.
 Today I thought a lot about wanting to be here...
 or here...
 And I thought a lot about life... and how as much as I miss the trail, I don't want to let the days I have here pass waiting and wishing for something else.  I miss the woods... but they aren't gone forever. 
I'll be back there. 
For now I don't want to forget to embrace these days...

Life is beautiful if challenging and today is a gift.  I've said a lot that I wanted to remember to embrace THESE days, wherever THESE days happen.  SO today, in Ohio... I am thankful.
