This life

1st life is so wonderful, everyone can get stuck sometimes in reading terrible things on facebook or listening to horrible events on the news.  You know what, that isn't how I want to live, I turn off the media and think about all of the great things in this world. It really is a great place. I went hiking with a friend yesterday at Three Creeks showing him a couple bluffs and caves I knew about. When he left I returned back to the trail and sat on a log, it was then I heard stillness, leaves, birds, and trickle of a nearby brook.  I noticed my breath becoming longer as I drew in more air, more relaxed more intune with myself. Thank you, I needed that.

Oh no getting the bug again

I think I get these urges once someone plants the bug in my head...now I am looking at bike touring but on a small overnight scale....off to look at bike panniers (and learning how to say that word too). Stina planted in my head that there is a Peddler's Jamboree coming up...we'll see.

What's next

Right now I have a baby on the way. Maybe i'm getting cold feet or mayb I just want to discover myself more before he comes.  I've been thinking of a few things that I wish I had done before he got here but then again I hope that one day he will want to do these things with me....like backpacking.

(on the cedar creek trail, cooking some tea and, some sort of noodles)

It doesn't help with my backpacking urge that I have a friend who is backpacking the Appalachian trail right now. She has a blog so I am keeping up with it regularly.  From reading her experience it's nothing like I imagined the trail would be like.
