Today was awesome because of 416 metres.
That's how many I climbed. Sure, it's not Everest, but it was a beautiful journey up Mt. Finlayson. At the summit, my buddy Mike and I enjoyed granola, berries, and breathtaking views of the forest, the sea, and the mountains.
I urge everyone to get out this week and appreciate a piece of nature, wherever you are. Look for something you find beautiful... it doesn't matter what it is, where it is, or what size it is. A mountain, a river, a snow covered pine, a budding tree, a rolling wave, a marching line of ants, your neighbour's garden if you must! Anything! And then really take a long, slow look at it and think about how totally, outrageously, incredibly wondrous planet Earth itself is. And marvel.
