Thirty-six hours ago, a squiggly Cholula welcomed us home from a week-long trip to Mexico. This morning (after a tornado of a day full of work, unpacking, laundry, plant-watering, re-packing, car-washing, etc.), we’re hopping in the car and road-tripping to Durango.

This time of year, after hunkering down all winter, I get the itch to move. And move we do. I’m wanting to wallow in the beautiful memories of the last week, but needing to look forward to the trip ahead (and the one that comes right after it- eek). I’m taking deep breaths and working on being present and grateful for each particular moment. This is the good stuff.

Just FYI: For the next seven hours, my “moment” will include a 51-pound, crooked-eared dog in my lap.

Off we go. Stay tuned for a proper Mexico Bliss recap and a double-whammy Bliss Bits!
