joy is...


Joy is waking up at three thirty in the morn because the one you love made it their ever loving mission to watch the Easter morning sunrise from the summit of Haleakala, the house of the sun.

Joy is telling that someone you love that it's all too much, too early and that, as this was all their idea, well, you'll no longer be talking to them, for. like. ever., and then, of course, quickly laughing at the silliness, together, as you load two sleeping boys and a thermos of hot cocoa into a car headed ten thousand feet above sea level.

Joy is making it to the top and finding you are not alone.
Joy is knowing that there are other travelers aplenty, standing on that dark cold summit; kindred spirits, chasing that same, fleeting, moment in the sun.

Joy is going out to meet the new day, face to face.
(Even if it was oh so stinkin' cold up there that you found yourself snuggling awkwardly close to perfectly good strangers, you know, for body heat and such.)

Happy Easter to You and Yours.
Thank you for the sweet joy you share with this little family of ours and for the going on this silly little journey with me here. It means the whole wide world, it just really truly does.
Here's to another beautiful go 'round the sun.
Be well. live sweet, n

P.S. Proof, in photos, of that cold up there.
An iced over puddle on the side of the road... in March, in Hawaii guys.
