Kaya and I made our annual trip up north to camp in the wilderness and recharge. Recharge I did!
I’ve been back a couple of weeks now and still appreciating the internal renewal those wonderful days brought.
Everything from hiking over rough terrain to swimming in mountain streams, from tying my tarp up over my tent to boiling water for tea in my box stove brought me personal joy.
I enjoy having a few hobbies that one builds skills in over the years. Backcountry camping has been one of those for me. I began in my early 20s, building on my father’s camping trips and several years in the Boy Scouts.
What pastimes do you turn to for personal satisfaction?
“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”
