After a year of enjoying excellent new mexican food, hubby and I are finally in agreement on wanting to settle in the same place - here! It has been just about adventures, priorities, and many things to be thankful for.
One of our most recent adventures thankfully is the rediscovery of our love of hiking together. Granted, we loved hiking during our high school days for many reasons (mostly the views, of course!). Now that we are in our 4th decade of life, it was a joy to remember how much just walking on a trail really helped us feel relaxed and at peace.
Of course, with any adventure, there are bumps in the road. We have had plenty of those, thank you. It seems that somehow we were meant to begin learning an important lesson: priorities.
While we absolutely want to help everyone in the universe, we are learning the lesson of caring for ourselves and one another as the trumping priority. I read today that marriage shouldn't be hard work. The article said that marriage should be effortless if it is with the right person. I call BULL!!!
We are definitely looking forward to what the next year brings as we try to maintain our treasured Zen in the Wild West.
