Getting Out Of Dodge

🙌Feeling on top of the world after our hike to Ladybug Saddle this morning!
🙌Feeling blessed after this weekend's trip to Mt Graham with the Larson gang!
🙌Feeling refreshed after a weekend away, tucked up in the pines soaking in fresh COOL air, soil, and rain!
🙌Feeling in love with Mother Earth and connected to Brothers and Sisters that I share it with.
Sometimes, the heat of the AZ summer has me questioning my judgment for moving here. It's weekends like this that remind me the relentless blazing sun does not determine my mental state or gratitude. (Hint hint: this can be said for any weather that challenges you)
You cannot see the forest from the trees.
Whatever you are dealing with, you can back up from the scenario, see the bigger picture, check out the entire landscape and realize that your 'problems' are microscopic and insignificant in the scope and sequence of your life.
If you back up far enough, you will get a glimpse of just how small any challenge you are facing truly is. You can get that you are a spec on this Earth in a teeny blurp of time in this Universe.
⬆️This statement is not to diminish your existence. Rather, inspire you to live your life according to the concept that everything fades.
🕛Make the most of each moment. 
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Connect in your relationships.
🗺Explore the land you walk on.
🙌Give and receive with grace and love.
This life is short and you only get one. 
Live the life you love❤
