Thank you; I plan to! I'm almost kicking myself for not having done something like this sooner. I've gone on hikes before (there's an absolutely beautiful nature preserve near my sister's house and my husband and I hike the trail there every winter), but I've never thought of myself as a "hiker." And I've never been like, "Oh, yeah, I'd love to go on a trail!"
But then I kind of look back and I'm like, "Wait, we go on that big hike every year and always enjoy ourselves. Oh, yeah, and I used to go hiking with my sister a lot. And sure, I bitched and moaned the whole way but I always felt better when I was done."
Like I should have been doing this more already! I guess this is the type of person I am and I just didn't see it clearly, because I'm always too busy trying to be what other people think I am. This whole past year or so, Season 11 of Idol, all my hiking adventures... they're definitely changing me, but I don't think they're changing my core so much as revealing it more.
I hope you find a chance to get out there again sometime; I'm going to try and continue to seize the moment whenever I have it so I don't spend my older years thinking I wish I had done more.
