Grateful for Today, Excited for Tomorrow

FriYay no. 7

Happy FriYay meme: the boy and girl cats at a warm Asheville sunset surrounded by plants, with signs celebrating health, happiness, wisdom, wealth, gratitude and the future
Us, in cat form. As always.

What we did

For once, there really wasn’t much of a plan.

No big event. No carefully planned date night. Tonight was still wide open.

And maybe that’s what made this FriYay worth remembering.

I found myself thinking about how much I love the time Bethany and I get to spend together, how much I love her, and how excited I am about all the things we’re still planning and dreaming about.

Sometimes the best thing happening isn’t what’s on the calendar. It’s realizing how good life already is.

What we’re looking forward to

Everything.

More adventures. More ordinary days. More time with our people. More things we haven’t even thought of yet.

And continuing to build a life together centered around four things that feel increasingly important to us:

Health. Happiness. Wisdom. Wealth.

Not just wealth in the financial sense, either. A wealthy life, full of love, experiences, family, friendship, freedom, growth and time together.

We’re grateful for today and pretty damn excited about tomorrow.
