I don't fall into The New Year
New You b.s.. I prefer to start my goals a few weeks into the New Year. I call it
New Year Better Me. There can't be A new me because well I'm still me not a robot.
I'm just going to spend the new year improving on the goals I have made in the past and completing the one
I set for 2015.
I spent the weekend with #Smitten.
We knew we wanted to climb a mountain but which one, Stone Mtn or Kennesaw Mtn.?
We chose the easy drive. Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park....whew long
ass name. It's where Sherman came down on Atlanta during the Civil War. Lots of
Southern heritage there. Got there and started wondering about all the bodies buried
around that place...hmm
The last time I climbed this mountain
I was 19 years old; totally different endurance energy and strength.
Beautiful scenery; Open fields,
woods, cannons... Wait...it was cold as ice...my goodness mighty cold, but I didn't
care, we didn't care. After the walk from the parking lot to the visitor’s center
I had to pee...did that. Thus the climb begins.
It was not like Stone Mountain...short
flat path, then I felt like Frodo and Sam in Return of the King climbing up, up,
up and up up up. Heart rate was up up up. And just when we thought we were gonna
die the Heavens revealed a bench!
So happy, so proud...kinda my
defining moment of how 2015 is going to be for me. Just I keep going. Don't give
up. Nothing is easy. If you want it do it. Do or Do not, there is no try.
Linking up with Marvelous in my Monday (tho its Tuesday) and Her Heartland Soul
