I have been given the gift of traveling this frightening and gorgeous trail with incredible people. Each one is a gift, presented to me over and over again at exactly the right moment. I am humbled to know not what waits around the bend, but to have enough courage to just keep moving. I believe what I need I have, and what I do not know I will learn. I am not alone; we travel together, all of us, tripping, stumbling, even slowing down to a crawl at times, but leaning on each other, carrying each other or maybe simply holding hands. Somehow, though, we are getting somewhere, and when I pay attention to where I am at any given moment, I am happier.

Life has a beautiful way of asserting itself, and just in time. I was beginning to wonder if spring was actually going to happen this year and my nephew, Finn, showed me this proof - with the zeal only he possesses! Thank you, Finn, for reminding me to try and see the planet in the fabulous four-year-old way that you do!
