“We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day; and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us. Even while the earth sleeps we travel. We are the seeds of the tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind and are scattered.” ― Kahlil Gibran

The past two weekends, my sister, a couple of friends and I, went back to the Black Creek Mountain Resort. Again, we didn’t do much.  We said no to zip-lining, biking and horse-back riding.  We said yes to some hiking, fun in the pool, playing cards, delicious BBQs and plenty of nothing.

I am hoping to go back in the winter 🙂

Beautiful sunny days

No biking or ziplining today, but hoping to come back to ski in the winter

“The appearance of things changes according to the emotions; and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves.” ― Kahlil Gibran

“Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.” ― Khalil Gibran

Yes we did!

“When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as
the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.” ― Khalil Gibran
