Traveling is its own triumph.

We had a somewhat tricky trip here, narrowly avoiding a couple potentially major accidents, but we made it safely nonetheless. We have enjoyed spending a lot of time with family and a few friends while we have been here, further relishing in the beautiful weather and incredibly scenic surroundings. The lack of responsibility has been a boon to my spirit and emotional balance. And even though it hasn't been all smiles,(as the occasional sting of recent events would incur) I would still call this vacation a successful escape, and necessary catharsis, from the weight I have long carried in tow. And there's still lots left to enjoy. It is a wonderful thing.
