Beautiful! Reading this was like taking a peaceful morning walk where you can see things so clearly. I’m ‘booting’ up now to walk in my neighborhood. I Loved this Lift….one of my very favorites!

What an auspicious “sign” of things to be, in your new home. Such a lovely Lift to read this morning. Wonderful seeing you yesterday, my friend.

By the way, where we moved, we have one of those old-fashioned mailboxes with a red flag. It’s for you to raise up if you have outgoing mail for your Mailperson to pick up. 📬😉

Neighbors are special indeed! So grateful for our friendship & the chance to spend some time together.

And thank you for the mailbox instructions. It’s been so long since I’ve seen one of those, I couldn’t remember! 😜 I can’t wait to put up that little red flag. Going to make that a regular practice in my new lifestyle. Need to brush up my handwriting.

Always feels good when you know you are in the right place at the right time. Which of course is always how things are, but it’s nice to stop and recognize the beauty of it. 🤗

Connections made thru connections... Shared many great climbing experiences with Dax and his family. Enjoyed reading your reflections as you open a new chapter in life. Cheers, Derek
