Feels like yesterday when I was standing on top of a peak in South India welcoming 2016. Here I am, still breathing, still running, still living.
I am off to National Park to pick a mountain, watch the sunset, sleep under the stars and climb the summit to watch the first sunrise of 2017.
“There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.” – C.S. Lewis
With a tent, sleeping bag, cooking pot and some snacks and coffee in my pack, I went to the mountains, my sanctuary. Enjoyed the stillness and calm before the storm rolled in. Stinging rain and a horrendous gale put me to the absolute test. No sunrise from the summit this year, but the mountains taught me a great lesson:
Patience, resilience and maintaining a positive attitude no matter what.
Just what I needed to learn for the adventure ahead. I went to the mountains and had a good time.
To you and yours, here’s to another year full of kindness, good health and epic adventures.
