Random thoughts...

  • I LOVE being in the mountains. It's a special feeling to stand atop a mountain peak, still breathing hard from the intense effort it took to get there, looking out at the endless, snow,tree,rock-covered peaks surrounding you, and realizing that this very moment is one of the main ingredients for happiness and fulfillment in your life.

  • And since I can't be in the mountains right now, just being outside will do. 
  • It's amazing what a little (or a lot) of stretching and sleep can do for your body. Unfortunately it usually takes injury or sickness to realize that we need to stretch a certain area, or sleep 8-9 hours a night, but when you do start consistently taking care of yourself in these ways, the benefits are incredible. 
Sharks + sleep = awesome!
  • Speaking of sharks, Great White Sharks are fascinating creatures! I just cleaned out my book shelf (per some inspiration from Cary Fortin) and stumbled upon The Devil's Teeth, which was crammed into the back of my book shelf. Turns out it's this amazing story about the Farallon Islands, the Great Whites that live there every fall from Sept-Nov, and the people who live/breath/study sharks. Highly recommend - especially to Bay Area folks.
  • Is it the weekend yet?!!!! We're thinking about trekking up to Squaw again this weekend for more adventure. Because it was just. that. awesome!!!!
Save the valley floor from developers!
