Collecting New Perspectives
We just returned from a visit to the ice-and-snow-snug Midwest, where our friends treated us to a few days of survival in style. Who knew summersaults with a 2-year-old in a slant of sunshine on soft carpet, the invigorating inhale of frozen air on the way to dinner, or the constant sparkle of snow could be something to get used to?
Still, the arrival home was even more of a shock to the senses. Gentle outdoor air on skin! The scent of ocean and grass! Traveling is so awesome for perspective.
Our New Year's resolution: Travel more. Gain more perspectives.
G very nearly captured this moment in a glass, and we call it Rum Ruby.
