Gooseneck state park in southeastern Utah was so dreamy at sunset and I felt a surge of happiness overcome me. How do you bottle up something so special and be able to return to it when life gets tough?

- My hot pot made a killer packaged cheese enchilada goop π – seriously!! π§
- Hot chocolate βοΈ always soothes the soul
- Reading a book in the comfort of my hammock without a care of what is going on in the βrealβ world π π
- Stargazing without any light pollution except the glow of a brilliant moon π π
- Speaker softly playing a cheesy playlist π πΆ
- Walking along the edge of a sharp chiseled cliffside imagining the history & weather that shaped this dreamy landscape π β
- The simplicity of being at a campsite in the middle of nowhere is so enthralling & deeply moving π€
- The distinct chill in the air as it hits 9pm (as Iβm usually up for another 3 hours), so I bundle up in more layers π΄
As I begin to appreciate the small things once again, I have a gained my power back and the weight I have put on my shoulders for 23 years begins to slide off into nothingness.
βThe sound of silence. To be absent from drama is to be present with peace.β -unknown
