75 of 100 ... Catchup #2 for Saturday (Jun28)

Saturday was full of scattered showers and various spittings.  I had intentions to do planning and some cleaning, but got none of it done.  What that ended up is that I spent a lot of time thinking - about what was important to me, about how things need to change, about the path to take once I return home. And, talking with VG.  Interesting how so much of her struggles are similar to mine ... so, as I contemplated her and her situations, realizing the parallels, I also realized how much of the advice I offered her also fit me.


Moments of Gratitude for Saturday

Today, Saturday June 28, I am grateful for ...


1/ my fantastic new sleeping bag! I had gotten horribly cold last year and decided to get a new one. Paid about $100 for it and oh wow ... I think I'm in love!  I had a wonderful night's sleep - no sickness and woke to visit the "ladies room" (aka "outhouse") at about 4 AM.  Chilly!! But easy to warm up again and sleep to 10!!
2/ keeping up with the various rain squalls ... I was able to keep most of my stuff dry, which was great. it never got 'bad' but it was enough that I could never take paper out and my chair was always wet, as was every other sitting object.
3/ it being only scattered rain that we had to deal with.  No thunder or lightning storms, no wind, no hail, no snow.  All was good!
4/ "The Fire Queen"!  Hands down, one of the best things about camping with VG is her ability to get any fire started, any drenched wood will burn, and knows how to get it blazing.  I suck at this and I'm very grateful this is one of her 'gifts'!!
5/ the day to do nothing ... lots I could have done but couldn't because of weather, so to be able to reflect on all that has happened so far, was a blessing, indeed!
