A
lot of times I find myself unmotivated to share or write about our lives when I
don’t feel like we’re doing anything noteworthy or significant. This happens to me often in the winter, when
work dominates my day to day and I’m lucky to find time to get out on small ski
tours and climbs. I think it’s basically
a function of how much I feel like I’m challenging myself. When I’m out working towards larger goals or
attempting them, I’m psyched to share my progress and experiences, but when my
life takes a mellower routine, I’m content to go to the crag without a camera,
and spend some time in the mountains without writing about it here. We all need our version of silent reflection,
whether it be from our jobs, our partners, ourselves or the whole scene, this
time can give us the perspective and inspiration to return invigorated and
focused.
In
light of all this, I wanted to share a little bit about our lives for the last
few weeks, because while I might not feel like I’ve been challenging myself
enough, our days have been full and there’s been a lot going on, in fact, we’ve
got pretty big news, but you’ll have to read to the end for that. After all, if my goal is to advocate for a
simpler, quieter lifestyle, one that might not always be as glamorous but
continues to deliver satisfaction and adventure, well then what better place to
start than here. With that in mind,
here’s a brief look into the last month of our lives through some words and
pictures.
