As much as I’m ready for spring, I’m always happy to escape into a winter wonderland for a little while.

The morning this photo was taken, I desperately wanted to sleep in. I went to bed late the night before and the warmth and comfiness of the bed was difficult to let go of. But instead of giving in and hitting that snooze button, I decided to push myself, get up, and make it up the mountain to witness another yet beautiful sunrise. Now, looking back at that morning, I couldn’t be happier I made that decision. Sure, I could have slept in and enjoyed a more relaxing vacation. But then, I would have missed that divine moment the sun came up above the horizon; I would have missed that golden light and that pleasant morning breeze coming from the ocean. And instead of this beautiful memory of overcoming myself and experiencing something magical, I would have simply been well-rested.⁣

Views from another stunning morning hike✨ I wish I could stay here long enough to go on all of the hikes and explore every corner of this beautiful island.

My favorite memories, from every trip I’ve ever

My favorite memories, from every trip I’ve ever taken, always have something to do with sunrises or early morning adventures. It’s my favorite time of the day and the stunning sunrise colors are just an added bonus to a well spent morning. ⁣

Exploring this island of Hawaii for the first time and so far I’m loving every inch of it! If you have any recommendations, feel free to send them my way.⁣

Is it just me or this has this winter been a bit gloomier than usual? ⁣

Either way, I’m definitely feeling the “winter blues”. What has always been helpful for me, in dealing with the “lows” this time of the year, is a weekly trip to the mountains and catching an occasional beautiful sunset or sunrise. But in the last few weeks, my days off haven’t aligned with good & safe weather and I couldn’t get my mountain fix. Luckily, I have a vacation coming up and I plan of soaking up enough Vitamin D to last me the rest of the season.⁣⁣
