Journeys

"Life's a journey, not a destination" - Steven Tyler

Life is filled with steps that take us along the journey; they may be forwards, backwards, up hills, into valleys, they may be hard or easy, the may take us along desolate byways or scenic vistas.

Right now I'm on the journey of weight loss - I've joined Weight Watchers and am loving the results! I'm on this journey with my good friend, Ramah, and am committed to reaching a healthy, happy place in my life. I have been using Weight Watchers recipes, but have also been borrowing from my friend, Emily's, webpage and her vast vegetarian/vegan collection (thanks so much!!). This year we've taken many journeys -backpacking trips, 1/2 marathons, vacations, journey to better health and more. I'm getting really excited about planning a journey for next year and that is to complete the Wonderland Trail around the base of Mt. Rainier. I'm hoping to put together a large group that would love to take 10-14 days and hike this trail next year around late spring/early summer or once the snow clears. I've made commitments before and kind of let them slip by the wayside, but this is something I really want to do and hopefully putting this out there for "everyone" to see will hold me responsible. As we approach fall I always become a bit more nostalgic, thinking of the past year and what's around the corner. Plus, fall always reminds me of hot cider, heavy quilts, walks through the leaves and poetry. It is so wonderful to curl up with a good book, a mug of hot cider and a book of poems (or any other favorite book). I thought it would be fun to see what journeys you all might be taking or have taken, so please post a comment sharing your favorite, most memorable, fun or whatever journey. Can't wait to see where you all have been or are going!

Happy journeying!
