I've only been on vacation for a little more than one day thus far, and I've already experienced more simple, sensory joys than I could possibly count. So, this week's SJOTW is gong to be a little bit different--I'll share more fun stories + thoughts about the trip when I get back on Monday--but for now, you can catch a glimpse of some of my many simple pleasures from our trip out West through the following images. They are, in no particular order: seeing my family, morning yoga at the lodge, playing in the snow, the most gorgeous views I've ever experienced, skiing downhill with the wind in my hair, riding a ski lift and soaking up the quiet all around us, Ginger Creme Brûlée and vanilla ice cream (um, amazing!?), snuggly new ski gear, soaking in the hot tub after a long day in the cold, going down multiple "blue squares" after only one run on a "green circle," falling on my face and laughing about it, hot chocolate, spending QT with Ben and my family, and time in nature. Here are some snapshots of these amazing moments... Wish you were here!
I hope that no matter where you find yourself this weekend, you're able to bask in the present moment and truly soak up the simple things in life. Off to hit the slopes again ;) Namaste, Mary Catherine

Haha! Thanks, Mom ;)
I just discovered your blog and it was fabulous for my first couple of posts to be about my neck of the woods! I live in Park City, just around the bend from Little Cottonwood Canyon/Alta/Snowbird. It looks like you savored every bit of Utah's winter beauty. I suggest coming back in summer sometime- equally stunning. Thank you for a beautiful and inspiring blog! Comments are closed.
