Best Remedy for the Blues

This morning I was feeling off and Josh was feeling grumpy.  In an effort to boost everyone's spirits we headed to the mountains.  Josh may be part mountain goat, he nearly gave me a heart attack numerous times.  Claire wanted to "do it herself"  the entire hike,  I'm proud of her determination and independence, though it was challenging to chase my mountain goat and give my little one her time.  All in all we had fun and no one died or broke any bones.  I feel much happier.  Thank heavens for hiking!
