Have I told you how lucky I am?

that I got to hike up to and see the sun dawn over this place...

And had this guy walk through our campsite...

And I got to see this place in all its heat and glory...

All with this amazing girl...

Because I did. I got to travel around the world with my best friend and it was amazing and thrilling and painful and heart-achingly good and alive. And I'm pretty sure that I'm the luckiest girl in the world.

And now, I am in the equally wonderful land of maple syrup and Ben & Jerry's. And I've started medical school, which is also amazing and painful but in a different way.

And I want to remember that I'm the luckiest girl in the world. So I plan to use this blog to highlight all the little beauties, soul-succulent moments, bone-shaking art and heart-quivering love that I see in my life, so that I can keep my wandering soul traveling while confined within the rather stringent requirements that are entailed in becoming a doctor, because 'life is precious and every moment is holy'.
