Soaring
That center holds Within us The home that can never Be taken away The peaks and valleys To challenge and comfort us Always without and within We find home In the breath In the pulse driving us In the strength To overcome - Caroline A. Slee

Today, I hiked up the mountain to the cross with my furry sidekick (she's even lost a little weight, although you can't tell in her "ugly" Christmas sweater).
