waking up next to you

a great quote i recently came across from Thomas Edison, " you know the ambition of a man by whether or not he loves his alarm clock in the morning."
some days it's hard to wake up and be in love with that alarm clock. especially those too frequent mornings when it goes off at 6:30 so i can meet Joe at the gym. (if i knew he wasn't going to be there it'd be so easy to not go. so i'm glad there's someone waiting for me). We all have time and we can utilize it for so much good. some days you may wake up and feel like death (see last week's post), but you're 100% in control of how you choose to feel. Sure there are some outside forces that influence you, but ultimately it's up to you to decide what to do with those influences. we just have to remember to make every day the best day of our lives.
I honestly wouldn't mind waking up to this pearl every morning. It's the Finger of Fate at Hell Roaring Lake in Idaho. One of my favorite hikes.

  1. Remember how I did not go to the gym once last week since you did not go. Good thing we help each other out.

  2. also remember the last time we were there? me, you, and boy all in his "3-man" tent? when we got carried away in a river flood while we were napping in the tent? or how you guys all thanked me in the morning when i busted out 8 costco muffins?
