There are moments in time that just line up and are perfect.These moments could not be better!
The photo I share in this blog post was taken on a day that was as imperfect as they come. We were back woods camping by Ten Mile Reservoir. Our campsite was about a mile hike from our car. We decided instead of trying to get everything in one trip, we would take a few trips and fish as we went. On the first trip back to the car, I fell and I twisted my ankle. I knew it was not a shake it off injury. It hurt worse than anything I had ever experienced. I could not put any weight on my ankle-period. Thankfully I was still really close to the campsite and my husband was able to get me back there. It was a bad situation because I needed medical care but there was no way I could hike out of there to get it. It was a very rocky steep area. And we were not prepared. The first aid kit that we had bought specifically for the back woods failed to have a brace or an emergency ice pack. Like I said-it was a very imperfect day. We decided that we needed to wait overnight and see if my ankle got any better before attempting to hike out.
My day was spent at the campsite basically not being able to go and do anything, which was the worst. This area was so beautiful and I wanted to go explore, but because of how bad my injury was I simply could not do anything. I sat and looked forward to a fire and s’mores. But I told you the day was imperfect right? We discovered as we were preparing to make s’mores that we forgot the chocolate in the car!!!
As this imperfect day was ending, Kevin was fishing the shore. And out of nowhere came the most perfect moment. The sunset was one of the best I’ve ever witnessed in my life. The beautiful colors reflected off the lake. It was the perfect moment on a very imperfect day.
Imperfect adventures will happen. But so will those perfect moments!
Let’s go find those perfect moments on an imperfect day!
