We have rushed around a lot over the past few weeks, walking 5-7 miles a day, catching countless busses, taxis, trains... but rarely have I felt hurried (despite the pace) because these moments are coupled with the quiet, tangible realization that we are here, that we are in the middle of something we've been dreaming of for years, and that we are all happy and healthy and able. When you stop to smell the roses all of life is made more beautiful because the beauty of that moment bleeds into the next, easing it's hardship or pain, lifting it's weight just a bit. You are here, and you are well, and there is beauty everywhere. // #thejeffordsgetaway
