This recent trip was my first solo camping expedition since 2009. It was the last snip off of old garbage, a rediscovered freedom; the old me surfaced and spread wings. It's been way too long.

I saw and met many new places, things and people. They all enrich my life. I will never trade this ongoing discovery for anyone or anything ever again. It makes me who and what I am and I am grateful I am living this life here and now.

THIS is how life should be. Living it.
