“I Like Boring.”
We’ve had quite an adventure in the last several days of hiking! We have officially made it past our one hundred mile mark. As of this time of writing, Dad and I have hit around one hundred thirty-five hiking miles. After a certain point, I will continue for another two hundred miles or so, depending on the weather and elevations that I hit. If last week’s theme was getting our trail legs, this one has been something like taking what’s thrown at us. For instance, during one storm that we thought was supposed to pass over us in an hour, we decided to hunker down under our tent tarp. It kept our pants and shoes dry—until the weather app updated to more than three hours of continued storms. What did we do? We hiked another five miles in the rain. Nothing on our person or in the top of our packs was dry until the following afternoon.

Moments and Memories.
Last week I returned from a (very short) medical mission trip to Peru. I had the privilege of being the interpreter for one of our nurse practictioners on the trip. We got an early start each day and worked until late into the night. Here's a breakdown of the things that I experienced and memories that were made:

Happy Trails!
I wrote about the new season in my life in a previous blog and this week I have been taking my zero day (whenever I don’t hike at all) spending time with my grandparents and setting up job interviews. I think I’ve finally gotten my “trail legs” so I think the next several days should be easier. I cannot discount the fact that there have been so many beautiful scenery spots and even more VERY tough hills.

Book Sabbatical: May
This month has been a little hectic, as evidenced by this summary being written twelve-ish days after the start of the month. I can’t promise July will be any better, but it’s for a good reason! I will be traveling and hiking this summer (see previous blog about adventuring) so I will have limited access to a computer. However, I will continue to create stories for when I return in August and will post as often as I can. Until then, enjoy the books from May!

I’m in! — One Adventurer’s Story.
This is the last week at my job. I voluntarily resigned a month ago, with the idea that I am going to take the summer off. I am leaving on good terms, but I’m setting off on an adventure! I have calculated my savings, my budget, and two other trips already bookended on either side of my summer ramblings. My plan for adventure: to section hike the Appalachian Trail for five to six weeks!

The love-hate relationship of cats.
As I write this, my cat is lost. I haven’t seen him for over a week. I’m hoping he’s just holed up somewhere in someone’s house, cozy and oblivious to the worry that he is subjecting me to. However, I know that in reality he could be on the side of the road or stuck in a chimney. I am not sure if he will come back like nothing happened or if I will never see him again. Times like these remind me that I’m lucky to have a cute, little, fuzzy companion.

Book Sabbatical: April
A lot of the reading time that I have taken has been deliberate. As evidenced by this post, better late than never, right? It is difficult for me right now to find time for a reading, though I am incorporating art and writing into my evenings. Audiobooks have been amazing and even including short synopsis of books that I have read has cushion to my writing and solidified things that I have learned from each story. One of the advantages of trying new things in art is that I learn to see things from a new perspective, and some of the books that I read enhance a different way of approaching the world. I hold on to the fact that reading a good book is just as important as writing a good book.

Faces Among Us
The Turkish word, Meraki means, “The soul, creativity or love put into something; The essence of yourself that is put into your work.” I recently noticed this definition displayed at my gym and I think it accurately describes my stage of life right now.

Book Sabbatical: March
This month it was hard for me to stay focused. I had most success in my audiobooks, but also am finishing some non-library books that will be revealed in the April blog. I enjoyed the dash of non-fiction this month which is unusual for me, but makes me feel in touch with real life. I hope to continue stretching my smarty pants muscles and learning more about writing well. My plan for April is to continue digging into books on my shelf and to re-read a couple favorites.

Book Sabbatical: February
February is classified as the month of love, and even though I don’t have a valentine this year, I’ve still gotten to love on some of my family and friends. There have been some coffee dates, tearful conversations, quiet evenings, and laughter. Taking time out of my busy schedule to continue building relationships is always worth it, even if it takes away from things that I usually deem “important.” The question is, what matters in the end?
