Have you ever experienced a moment where you just know that everything is perfect? Things are like they should be. You can’t explain it but you know in your heart. I have lived through moments like this several times over past months. I wake up, take my running shoes, go out and look around. Beautiful, snow-topped mountains and fresh air – I take a few deep breaths and start running. Legs are so light that it almost feels like flying. I am home. I am in Alaska.
I moved to this wonderful state quite some time ago, in April 2009. The journey from April to today has been curvy and full of surprises but oh, how much I am alive! People say that everything happens for a reason. I believe it is true.
Happiness truly comes from small things. It is a smile on someone’s face, sound of snow crunching under running shoes or blue moon on New Year’s eve.
I am home. In Alaska.
