The beginning of a new job and a new year has forced led me to be mindful of greater desires. Setting boundaries and acknowledging limits, creating margin to allow growth, being present and gaining gratitude, and giving myself permission to exercise what I love to do the most is filling me with hope of the potential this next year holds. I have begun with creating time to be creative...

Giving Thanks
Our second Thanksgiving away from family was made a little easier with good company, beautiful winter weather, and plenty of wildlife sightings.
On our way to Driggs, Idaho we passed this fellow
After a rejuvenating morning yoga class centered on gratitude, we drove to Jackson, WY to spend Thanksgiving with new friends and their dogs (9 dogs to be exact).
A delicious dinner was followed by sitting fireside in a beautiful home at the base of the Tetons.

The next morning, we woke up to this fellow lumbering around the backyard
We watched him quickly scale a tree after hearing Kingsley's bark
He perched himself on this branch and took a long nap
Saturday, we stopped in Swan Valley to fish the south fork of the Snake before heading home
We left feeling especially thankful for our relaxing weekend, especially eager for upcoming weeks of positive change, especially humbled by the consistent support from friends, and especially grateful for the unwavering love of our families. Basking in His blessings, we are thankful.

Changing Seasons
Otis says goodbye to the pumpkins and leaves on the ground and welcomes our first snow
Frosty jowls
Goodbye Fall
Welcome Winter
"And the seasons, they go round and round
and the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind from where we came
and go round and round and round in the circle game"
