Reset

It's a sleepy installment of Weekly Gratitude! The past two weeks have been quite hectic at work, but I'm glad to say a big project is done and now I'm enjoying a few days out of town. The extra stress recently has given me a new appreciation for a few things:

* The utterly restorative abilities of a hot bath after a cold, challenging day

* The quiet, check-back-in-with-yourself opportunity of time spent alone

* A fluffy hotel bed with mounds of pillows that encourages rest

* The bliss of curling up with a thick new magazine

* The fun of getting away coupled with a desire to come back home to the ones I love most

Up and Away

This week, I am away from home. I'm on a press tour of a scenic area of my state and over the next few days I'll be walking, hiking, biking, kayaking, eating, photographing and all-around exploring. I'm excited for this opportunity to be here and see someplace new.

Another aspect of this little adventure is I've never really traveled on my own. I've taken trips with my family, girlfriends and my husband, but not solo. It's a bit strange to get used to, but hopefully I'll embrace and enjoy this time to myself.

I hope everyone has a week filled with adventure and discovery!
