Yesterday I went on a hike here, to the St. Mary's Trail and it was great! 4.5 hours, but great.

I started out, just craving some alone quiet time. I started my hike not really knowing where I was going to end up which is the best way to do a hike. I started climbing and climbing and I wanted to go to the falls, except that I really didn't know if there were actual falls. Cause I am a Michigan girl and when I hear falls I think big bad rumbling water, not just a little creek. And here in CO a lot of times when they say falls a lot times they just mean a little piddly stream.

So I kept climbing and climbing and I got almost excited like it was Christmas morning and I was getting a present that I didn't know what it was; and I didn't know where I was going to end up.

I love hiking this way, when you don't really know where you are going but excited to just enjoy the journey. That's how I am trying to live my life these days. Knowing that I don't have it in my hands and I just need to enjoy the journey. Meaning smelling the flowers, looking up at the sky and noticing the clouds and hearing the birds. It makes my life fun.

I made it to the top of the trail and it was beautiful. I was as high as NORAD and the view was amazing. The waterfall was frozen but the sound of running water under the snow was very calming. Calming to my very chaotic life.

Today was a good day. It was fun to just enjoy the journey.

Are you enjoying your journey?
