Happiness is not a matter of intensity
but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.

In the Crown

Today I climbed 354 steps to the crown of the Statue of Liberty. Only 30 people are allowed to do that per hour. When we reserved our tickets back in March I was sure that my knee would be completely healed. But with the help of a cortisone shot and some pain medication I got to the top with relative ease. There is a double helix up the middle of the statue so that those who are going up do not run into those who are coming down. When we arrived at the top it was just my sister and I at the top of the crown with two park rangers. We had the place to ourselves and it was an awesome view.
