This image is from so long ago, but just brings me to a serene place. Just wondering among the trees.

Appreciating the moment.

Today while I was working, my friend next to me was “off duty,” but still helping us out. He was in such a better mood than any of us because he was “off duty.” The only difference was the fact that he chose to be there and I technically didn’t fully choose in that minute.

My mindset shifted for the rest of the day. I was choosing to enjoy the moment. I was choosing gratitude in the moment. Thankful for the moment of silence allowing me for peace. Thankful for the short conversation where my resident walked away with a smile. Thankful for the high five my coworker gave me. Thankful I was sitting in an air conditioned building.

Living in thanksgiving is how I was joyful in an otherwise “boring” environment.

I just wanted to take a minute to share these pictures and give an update.

Life this past week has been beautiful yet tiring. I moved back to school and have been training for my new job here at school since Monday morning.

It feels new and young to be here again, but I also feel old and nostalgic. Coming back to an old life in a new way is weird and hard, but exciting.

I am excited to step back into my business this year in the new place of life I am in.
