Want to
feel and enjoy your age, go on a camping vacation!
At home
where all is comfortable and familiar we feel younger in our 30’s instead
the reality of being in our 60’s.
Don’t get
us wrong we have enjoyed our camping trip every much and at different times we
have known ourselves to be physically older then our psychological ages.
There
were the hikes that turned out to be too long.
The
campsites too far from the bathrooms.
and
All of
the trip and fall hazards that snag feet and sent us sprawling when feet were not lifted high enough.
There
were also times when the wisdom of our ages deepened our experience.
Taking
the time to sit in a church, to meditate being mindful the sounds, smells and
spiritual energy that these places of history hold.
Ignoring the pool and hot tub to walk the streets around us, opening up our experience
of a city or town being able to say hello to strangers.
Seeking
out local grocery stores to fill our cooler with healthy foods to make as we
travelled, allowing us to by passing the fast food restaurants for leisurely lunches at wayside
rest station.
We like
this Lewis Carol quote because it speaks to our understanding of life that we
are constantly becoming as long as we stay open to all the experiences that
life presents.
Laughing when we trip and fall, and remembering to lift up your feet next time.
Enjoying the
beauty of a star filled sky at 3:00 am as you walk hand in hand to the
bathroom.
Sitting down
and resting as often as you need too on this walk of life and
never, never stop walking!
