An Aha Moment

[JEKBreatheandBelieve]

I was so inspired I went for a walk in the woods to a stream and did some journaling. It was so refreshing and freeing. (I've been scared to do that for awhile.)

I've been scared to do that for awhile.

Hooray for you! Thank you for sharing this! Makes me happy! Did it feel good?

My husband and I started motorcycle camping last year. Have camped twice so far this year and more to come. Why not? It's fun and to be outside and sleep hearing the coyotes and owls and crickets.
We keep our gear simple for quick packing and unpacking. It's given me the wonder of a new way.

Did it feel good?

Yes, it most certainly did. It took me 25 minutes to walk to the river (which is really a stream unless it rains) and it took me 20 to get back because I was free-feeling. I even ran a little. I think I shall be going back soon.

I'm packing the gear and buying the marshmallows and chocolate tonight. Canceling therapy appointments and hitting the road after I take my mother to her appointment tomorrow. Decided to fulfill that obligation before I embark on my newest adventure. Hopefully this one will be MUCH more fun than my last adventure (in the psych unit :wacky:).

Yay! Congrats on a great "ah ha!" moment!
You are absolutely right, you can do anything and everything!

The best part is you might get this 'aHA!' moment a few times- I know I did. For safety purposes, just try to ask yourself 'Why not?' every so often to make sure it's somewhat reasonable. I know my first big A-ha was buying the groceries I wanted to eat, the latest is blue hair. If you'd like to borrow it, I call it 'delayed onset teenage rebellion' at times- have fun with it, you can have ice cream for dinner sometimes or pack up to go camping, it's all okay.

AND another entertainment aside... Because I LOVE that song, and ... well, this is one of the most entertaining .... Doesn't Aretha look great? And although Jake and Elwood (the Blues Brothers in the suits at the counter for those of you who aren't familiar with the movie) are not actually on her side... who could resist getting up and dancing?

Or this musical number about epiphanies! And JOY

(hehehe... I'd GO to church if it was like this...)

Ok. I'm done. Congratulations Hope! WELL DONE!
