Often when you have something big and exciting coming up (or really, could be big and awful) it’s hard to live in the moment. Too often, we are so busy looking forward that we forget to breathe and enjoy the NOW that surrounds us. As our trip to Latin America looms ahead (7 days!!) Grant and I have been working on enjoying the things we love about our current life, and appreciating what we have. We have a great house, amazing dogs, and we actually really like each other no matter where we are. This island we live on has so much to offer, and though it’s getting cold, it’s been wonderful to enjoy our beaches and favorite trails before we head south for the winter.
In hindsight, it’s been a long year for both of us. More so physically for him, working his ass off on various boats, but it hasn’t been particularly easy on either one of us. We began 2017 with me heading back to Thailand, and him taking on a very stressful and demanding job. Returning home from India in April only allowed us a short reunion before it was back to work… and it has been a busy summer. October 30th was our first day off together in many months, and it was a great reminder of how excited we are to share this upcoming adventure together. The last week has been filled with slow mornings, blanket covered laps, sipping coffee, mellow vinyasas, researching, listening to podcasts, and just soaking up all the sweet moments we missed this last season. Of course there are projects and chores that have had to get done – but how lovely it’s been to just be. Dogs, yummy food, yoga, and love are really all you need.
Namaste, lovelies
