(of my building, that is.)
Today has been an emotional, trying day. Something major I'm dealing with right now is not turning out as I had hoped it would, and so I have spent the better part of the day talking myself out of the chip that is trying to firmly implant itself onto my shoulder. I'm sure there will be many more board meetings with myself on this particular topic, so I have spent much of today trying to concentrate on staying present and being patient with myself and the situation.
I had just tucked Riley into bed when I glanced out the window, noticed some amazing light, and decided I needed to check it out from my building's rooftop deck. I almost decided not to haul Riley out of bed, but the urge to go outside was too strong, and I'm so glad I followed it. What I found up there was a half hour of amazing, ever-changing views, a child who was content to pull up a chair and marvel at the colors in the skies, and a chance to drink in the beauty of the valley and the mountains that surround my home. As the minutes drew out, and I sunk into the scene, I felt a deep sense of peace and calm and faith settle over my weary mind and heavy heart; a gift I was in desperate need of today.
Tonight, I needed the view from the top.

I too was enjoying the same light last night. I'm glad you went out and enjoyed it and that it helped to bring you the peace you were seeking.
Stay strong my friend. You can do hard things. Never forget what's on the other end of the fight...growth.
