Recently I have injured a tendon in my middle finger and it is one of those injuries that does not have a quick fix, over time I need to give it time to heal.  I can still climb, but I have to take it easy, which is driving me insane.

Tonight, I started to look at my recent Utah pictures and came to the conclusion that climbing to me has truly been an amazing sport.

Why?

Despite development of calluses on my feet, no more french pedicures, sort of not so pretty toe nails, rough hands, short finger nails and so on and so on….climbing has taken me so many beautiful places I would have never seen as a general tourist somewhere.

I have always had an adventurous spirit and love to travel, but climbing has taught me that I really live life beautifully.

So this blog post is to encourage everyone this week to live life beautifully!

Be sure to check out the pictures in the slide show below.  They are a collection of pictures I recently took a few weeks ago in Salt Lake City, Utah.  They are so simple, yet each picture gives us all a feeling of what we see when we climb.

I know you all can find one picture this week to capture the moment of you living life beautifully.

Whether you capture the moment from a hike, from watching your kids laugh with joy, from a fun bike ride, from watching a beautiful sun set, from seeing a rainbow after a storm, and so on and so on.

Whatever it may be, let us all document one picture this week, post it on your Facebook and title it Live Life Beautifully!
