Just celebrated my 59th birthday and what a fitting place to be while celebrating. The Great Sand Dunes National Park. As Sam and I were traveling, I kept thinking about my years and what I have accomplished in those years. For some reason, I just kept feeling like I need to do more to make each day count. We couldn't decide if we really wanted to make another stop before we got home as we were tired from the drive, but Sam decided we should stop at the Great Sand Dunes National Park, since we might not pass that way again. What an adventure that was! The Sand Dunes are the tallest dunes in the United States and there is no beach. The dunes are at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and there is a creek, called Medano also at the base of those mountains. The dunes are formed by the interaction of wind and water over time. The dunes cover 30 square miles. Just think about how this began with a little sand blowing and in time forming a beautiful masterpiece.
I don't know what this year holds for me but am so thankful to have Sam by my side encouraging me every step of the way.
That looks so wonderful and I am jealous that I wasn't there too!
