It is funny how quickly your life can change, or maybe flow is a more appropriate term. One day you are having a rough go of it and you wonder if you'll ever make it the next sees blue skies and evening fires and things are great. In a few days time life is hellish again and you're scared to answer the phone. The last telemarketer that called probably reported you to the CIA as a potential terrorist just because he caught you on a bad day.
Recently my life has been great and it has been fun. My relationship with my family is continually growing while I continue to develop myself as a community leader, but I can't help but have this nagging feeling that the higher I reach the further I will fall. I keep myself grounded by getting out to the wilderness and tasting simple things again. This reminds me that no matter how far I fall, I will be able to survive and start my climb again. I have learned through my simplistic approach while exploring the wilderness, that life in the social world can be just as simple, and just as rewarding as long as I don't overthink things. Sometimes it is just as good to survive as thrive, or at least I think it is.
Here is my weekly pic, its a bit late but I've been busy surviving, and through that effort actually thriving.
See you in the woods.

Enjoyed your post and the pictures...I know what you mean by suriving...I have been watching my dad try to get through cancer right now...somedays are good and somedays are bad...and some days its seems things just dont matter anymore... and he wants to give up. You loose some spirit and you gain some. Its been hard for myself just being far away and not being home and hearing all the things he goes through. Thanks for posting..it was encouraging.
