The beauty is unreal. Even on the hardest days… even when I’m wanting to stay upset about something… the beauty takes my breath away. It gets me out of my negative state. And even now… the sky is clear. I can see the stars and the moon is bright enough I wouldn’t even need a flash light because the snow is reflecting the light and making a natural glow lighting up the forest in every direction.
Sometimes the greatest victories are the smallest ones. The ones that bridge that voice in your head to the reality of where you want to be. It isn’t easy living off the grid. Today was 9 degrees and our plow broke down. But we stayed warm and didn’t need to go anywhere anyways. Choosing to focus on the joy makes all the difference. The joy in the moment is what makes memories.
Today the boys played sleds while I navigated off grid chores. Even at ages 3 and 7, my kids know we get it done together. We always have and always will
