Hi Internet,
First and foremost I’m happy to be posting again. This past week I’ve been quite busy. My girlfriend and I went camping in northern Maine for a couple days. Followed quickly by a good amount of work I needed to catch up on. Prior to talking it out, I felt bad because I didn’t feel like I kept my promise. I didn’t post daily and I messed up and missed out on my goal.
Now, I feel differently. It was never about posting every day or a specific number of items on nightly lists. It was about learning to incorporate and celebrate gratitude in my life.
This is my 265th blog but certainly not my 265th day feeling grateful to be exactly where I am. These blogs have helped my mental health and I’m better off when I write things out.

- A painted sky full of stars
- Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean
- Catching the first sunrise

- Our little tent
- The sound of rain on the car windshield
