DAY 43: "STOP......And Breathe Today......."

DAY 43:  Diamond Mountain (Vernal), Utah
TEMP:  High 81 / Low 57



As we were on the trike today, our last day in Vernal, Utah, seeing and experiencing the beauty around us; smelling the flowers as we zipped past them......the unknown ahead of us.....I was reminded how very blessed we are, on a MONDAY.....a day when most people are relunctantly in a stuffy office, working a job they despise.....to be HERE.....here in Vernal, Utah seeing, smelling and feeling sites that God spoke into place.  I must admit it brought tears to my eyes (partly due to the massive amount of pine trees that I'm allergic to) to realize how immensely fortunate we are to be right here; right now.

I realized at that split second that I would gladly....no.....EAGERLY give up every single thing I own to keep this feeling I was experiencing; this "moment"; this "chance" to be free from the burdens and worries of this world.  I would live in a cave and eat oatmeal for the rest of my life to stay in this moment.  And I must tell you; ME eating disgusting oatmeal is a BIG deal.......

I know I'm rambling on and on, but I know, just like you do, what it feels like to have this world control your moves; to not be free to make the choices that work best for you at that time in your life.......

And to feel this freedom even for just a few hours, was pure Heaven to me......
