As it begins

This year began for me with a sunrise hike up a mountain- one that is only about ten miles away from where we live, with a gentle yet unrelenting incline up winding paths that lead a little over 2500 feet over the bay. A hot breakfast and an unexpected dessert, as the restaurant handed out freebies to mark the day. Follow that up with a relaxed day of long naps and lazy reading.

And I wish the rest of the year is marked like this day - small challenges to keep us active, unexpected sweetness,  much rest and many good words.
