\"\"Ever just have one of those days?<\/p>\n

No wait wait! I don\u2019t mean in the way you think. I mean the opposite.<\/p>\n

One of those days where your mind resets. A day when you take a lot of deep mind-clearing breaths and you can almost feel the cogs slip back into place and the gears unjam. A day that seems to set everything moving smoothly. A day where it seems like the universe has gone: \u201cyou know what? This person deserves a break\u2026let\u2019s give her one.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was my day.<\/p>\n

A large part of it is that I finally got out to the Sitka National Park; something I have been meaning to do all season and had not managed to check off my list. The forest resets my thinking almost like the ocean, everything about it is just so\u2026clear. In a world where things are so much more\u2026cluttered\u2026it\u2019s a relief to be somewhere where there is still so much life. Nature just\u2026helps me, so very very much.<\/p>\n

And just like a lot of other things go wrong in a row sometimes, there are days when everything goes right<\/em>, all the little things, all the bits and pieces.<\/p>\n

Really, all<\/em> of them. There was even a puppy! A 10-month-old fluffy super friendly puppy, who just happened to be on a walk through the woods with his owner. I got puppy cuddles! In the middle of a random walk through the woods!<\/p>\n

Even one of the biggest most stressful problems I\u2019ve been dealing with at work? Fixed. Or so well on its way to being fixed that I don\u2019t feel like I have to worry about it anymore (25 old computers? Goodbye! And also, the onboard Purser is my new best friend).<\/p>\n

Some days? Just\u2026reset you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
