Mystery Gift and Moonlit Trails

Ever had one of those days that just sticks with you? Today was one for me. Thanks to Paul, Lucy, and Niko, I’m now the proud owner of a… well, let’s call it a “mountain top marker thingy.” The name might be a bit elusive, but the excitement isn’t!

As the evening settled in, I laced up my running shoes and headed towards West Rock. There’s something magical about night runs – the way the moonlight dances through the trees, the quiet hum of the world at rest, and the cool air that seems to invigorate with every breath.

Reaching the summit was a journey of its own. Every step brought a mix of anticipation and awe. And there it was, the night view from West Rock, a panoramic spectacle of twinkling city lights and stars competing for attention. It’s a sight that never gets old, but tonight, it felt extra special.

I can’t wait for the days to stretch longer, to see this view in the lingering twilight. It’s moments like these that remind us of the simple joys of life – a thoughtful gift, a run in the moonlight, and the promise of many more adventures to come.

Grabbing a movie to wind down the day feels just about right. Until next time, keep finding joy in the little things.
