Glad I did

You know the feeling...

You didn't want to go. Maybe you're not the hiking type-- you'd rather watch nature on the discovery channel-- but someone insisted, so you went. On the way up, your calves are sore, you're hot, tired, thirsty--- until finally, you reach the top. 

You're awe stricken by the panoramic views.

An enormous sense of satisfaction and of accomplishment rushes through you-- and you think, "glad I did." 

It's the feeling of learning something new, of inspiration, of purpose...

and my absolute favorite expression to see on the faces of my children.
