Beginnings

Starting something new is always exciting and yet somehow just a bit intimidating as well. This seems to be a theme right now for us and so why not on this page as well? Picking a starting off point just doesn't seem to be working -- so, May is the starting point as this is the month this blog appears to be ready to go. Its impossible to go back in time and not leave something out, so here's to new beginnings and the wonder of it all.

We have had the wonderful privilege of spending 10 days in British Columbia and Alaska this month. It was so peaceful and beautiful -- just to see the grandeur that nature has to offer is enough to make one painfully aware of our own insignificance in the whole scheme of things. We were truly blessed with unusually wonderful weather and know how lucky we were as a result of it. Glaciers calving, birds calling, sea lions playing, and the simple hospitality of the Alaskan people highlighted so much for us. From watching humpback whales grace us with their majestic tails to flying over the Misty Fjords and witnessing for ourselves the majesty of the earth, we have been fortunate to truly appreciate all that was placed before us. Returning back to reality has been challenging, but it makes us want to plan again for the next opportunity that comes our way.
