Lessons Learned While Hiking
Begin with
Determination
Remembering
As the slope
Increases
Baby steps
Are best
Requiring
Less energy
Rest stops
Are necessary
But never
Long enough
At some point
The destination
Will feel farther
Away than when
You started
But once the end
Is in sight
Relief floods
Body, mind, soul
Celebrating while
Begging for rest
Time to just be
In the place you
Struggled to reach
Grateful, tho once again
Never long enough…
Yesterday, my husband and I cheered on our daughter as she ran her first 5K! Yesterday, our youngest son was in Texas, helping our oldest son and his wife move to a new apartment! Today, I remember how we were all together just two months ago, hiking to Browns Falls in Colorado. Today, I am grateful. ❤️

What fun and beautiful memories. And so true, once that ‘end is in sight’ … such relief!

Congratulations to your daughter!! I love the lines Ali chose, too. Kelley, I found my pic to the falls so I must add mine on my website and see if you can see the little “monkey” that hiked with us. I love how you love your memories and blessings. You’re a blessing to us! 💕🥰
