Snowflake #12: Personal Win

Challenge #12

Tell Us about a Personal Win.

Yesterday I took a hike!

Even though there are tons of things I should have been doing, yesterday I took some time to be in Nature with a capital N. I haven't been hiking in decades but I used to do it a lot when I lived overseas. So I found a state park with a scenic bridge (I'd never been there) and put my sons' father on emergency contact duty (no cell phone service!) and drove out there and spent about a hour crossing streams and skittering across wobbly rocks.

It's a win because I made time for it and did it and survived it even though my balance and fearlessness aren't what they once were.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Congratulations! Sounds like you had a great time.

You have inspired me to try to do something similar this weekend (after a break of several years).

These photos might even motivate me to get up and go for a walk myself!
