My friend Haley is an awesome human and invited me to go backpacking through one of the trails in Killarney provincial park. I had never done anything like this before but it was amazing. We did a 4 day hike-in with everything we needed in 2 backpacks. It was really hard and rugged but amazing. I wanted to share a few thoughts and a few pictures.
Haley is very experienced at this and I trusted her fully - I never doubted her care for me or her lead on the trail. The "faith without doubt" concept - is much smaller right now in my personal faith. I need to feed my faith and remember how big God is.
The experts in the world say that going for a hike out in nature does one good to reduce stress. I would say it's true. This 4 day hike did not solve all my problems but it did definitely stabilized some brain synapses. I feel a little lighter.
Oh how I miss oak trees. Outside of this trip I could not remember the last time I saw an acorn. Stating that fact to my husband today made me teary eyed. I dearly miss being close to a forest and I really miss oak trees.
I am really proud of camping out for 3 nights (one of which resulted in serious frost on the ground) and feeling happy and content. I am strong and capable and can kick butt when required. Not everyone can do what I did and actually enjoy it and I am proud of that.
Those are my thoughts from my trip - not mind blowing by any means but right now they are a good place to start.
