H is for Hikes and Hills

Little Enzo the Chi may not look up to the task with his short, skinny little legs, but he's actually a really good little hiker. As long as he is walking at our heels, he's a happy little climber. 

Hiking means climbing, hopefully ending with a beautiful view from the top! The journey can sometimes be arduous, boring, even frustrating.  But when we get see the beautiful vista before us, especially in the company of our traveling companions, we think "The pain and work was worth it". 

Such is life. It can be really painful and tiring sometimes. And for some, it is often overwhelming. 

Sometimes the goals and dreams we have involve a lot of hard work. It takes a while before we see the results, but when we have achieved them, we can hopefully look back with gratefulness for the hard things that made us who we are.
