Enjoy the simple things.

American Falls, ID has been our landing spot for the last two weeks. As we get ready to embark on a new journey tomorrow, it seemed like a good time to reflect on our adventures so far.

One day last week I was feeling antsy to "go do something". Chad made the statement of "I feel like you need there to be something EPIC to go do".

Huh. That statement made me think.

Do I need there to be something EPIC, everywhere I go?

Pretty quickly, I came up with the answer.

No.

When I'm feeling antsy, I can sometimes find relief by moving my body. The mode of movement was taking our dog, Jazmine, for a walk. Our location happens to be alongside the American Falls Reservoir, into which the Snake River feeds. We wandered along the boat access point, through a rocky patch of beach, and eventually along the water's edge.

It was peaceful and pretty and everything it needed to be. Not epic. Just...nice. Nature has a way of being sneaky like that, just meeting you, filling up your soul, and letting you enjoy its beauty.

Here is your invitation to just get out there and enjoy the simple things.
