Autumn at the lake is giving me life right now. As soon as October arrived in the mountains, the gorgeous crisp fall temperatures came with it. It didn’t take long for the breathtaking color to develop, and we’re spending our days savoring it. We’ve been living here since early March and there isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not overwhelmed with gratitude. We’ve settled into the mountain life and feel quite at ease with it, to be honest. Being surrounded by nature is so therapeutic amidst the chaos of the world, and it’s amazing what a walk in the woods can do for your mental health (we take a LOT of walks, ha). I’m at peace with where we are, and the uncertainty of where we’re going next – which is not something I’ve been able to say before. Just being alive and healthy is enough right now, truly. There are days when I feel guilt for not being as productive as usual, but you know what? It is OK! Give yourself the space and time you need to process everything going on…because it’s a lot. I saw a post on social media the other day that said, “there’s never been a time when you haven’t made it through”, and that really resonated. I’m going to be ok…we’re going to be ok. Breathe.
