Thank you for your prayers.
Yes, camping is done until January, when I’ll do a little winter survival camping.
Went out West through the Bad Lands, the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming, and Yellowstone. Saw some beautiful country. The gypsy spirit in me says “Chuck it all, and go live out in the Mountains.” While that may be fun for me, it wouldn’t be so fun for my family.
This doesn’t exactly relate to anything above, but I’ve been thinking of speech given by Florida State Coach Bobby Bowden. He said something along the lines of “without adversity, you can’t build character.” He said something about “you show me someone who hasn’t faced much adversity, I’ll show you someone who doesn’t have much character.” What he was talking about wasn’t just facing it, but fighting through it while maintaining your goals and standards.
Right now, the idea of maintaining a certain character, is just feeling a bit too much. It’s in times like this I have to just take my days one minute at a time.
Well, thanks for listening. Sorry for the pity-party. I’ve called the Whaaampulance, and they should be by soon. (^;
