Feeling strong…

“I know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong, to measure yourself at least once, to find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions…”

This quote from the movie, Into The Wild, stuck with me just like the book and the movie.  Today, a 51 year old will be joined by a 58, 57, 55, 53, 49, 48, and a pair of young pups age 45.  We’re heading to the mountains of West Virginia.  We hope to climb some big mountains, see some natural beauty, and there will be a whole lot of measuring going on.

I hope to feel strong.

I hope we return stronger.  It’s fun to test the limits of what you can do, even when you’re the only one who notices.  In fact, I’ve found that’s when it produces the most Joy.  AND…

We’re off.
