Day 8, ABCs of Gratitude: Hiking

Hooray for the weekend! Remember how great this moment feels for when we get to the letter 'W' :)

For today, we are sharing our gratitude for something that begins with the letter 'H'. I'm at my parent's home in Bend, Oregon and I am reminded of how grateful I am for 'Hiking'.

Silver Falls Hike with my Uncle and Cousin, Summer 2012

Wether I'm back home in Oregon, or trekking upstate in New York, a hike is one of my favorite ways to get my heart rate up, enjoy some fresh air, and recharge. Escaping the hustle of the city and enjoying scenic views are, for me, akin to getting a 90-minute full-body massage.
