What a really cool adventure to find my first day back reading posts of my friends! That first photo is powerful, and reading the process to reach that goal on top of Voltz is certainly inspiring. My mind sees all sorts of parallels between your description of your journey to the top of the mountain and the journeys through life's paths as well. You describe a successful model for both ~ sure and steady, overcoming obstacles, knowing yourself and honoring those parameters...
As always I find your posts uplifting, food for thought, and a catalyst for mindfulness in my day.
Thank you, and happy travels!
