I have always craved adventure. And I always was striving
for the next one. When you begin to work every day, all day and only have a
couple days off a week, you begin to need adventure. I NEED AN ADVENTRUE. I
need to feel the trees, blowing in the wind, their sweet sweet smell of pine
and maple. I need to feel uneven ground, get a little dirty, and feel the
demand of my body to move forward. I need to feel the air outside… oh what a
concept. Outside. I sit in a cubicle, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I am blessed,
like I say all the time... I have a big window. I’m blessed again, but I
want more than to look outside while breathing inside air. I long to be out, in
the warm, cold air. I guess when you are locked up for so long your body starts
craving the outside.
So I decided to adventure, this Spring, Summer and Fall. I
have a couple friends and my boyfriend who are in for the challenge. I’m going
to push myself to backpack, hike, swim, climb, camp and get lost a couple
times. To not only get my body in shape and strong, but to get into the
beautiful outdoors that God has created for us to explore.
I have learned that to heal my body from the constant
sitting and non-moving every day, I need to move on the weekends, and move a
lot. To fill the void of non-fresh air, I need to get in the air, the
mountains, the desert and fields. I need to wander and be places untouched, silent and calm. I want to hear my breath and nothing more. I want to be surrounded by trees and fill my lungs till I can't anymore.
I want to get lost. and then find myself again.
