Last Saturday was a special hike. It was a celebration of over 40 years of hiking adventures with two great friends. More about that later.
I woke up early and threw on my sweatshirt because of the chill in the air. Our plan was to hike at Post Oak Preserve in Seagoville. We were hoping to see some wildflowers. I headed out US 175, listening to the Avett Brothers, which always puts me in a good mood. I left early so I would have a moment to journal. I sat at a picnic table in the dark and turned on the small solar lamp I carry tied to my pack (be prepared!). I read the Psalms, and wrote in my journal. It had been another stressful week at work. We’re doing our annual budget, which is an exercise of faith after the year we just had. Human Rights Initiative distributed hundreds of thousands of dollars in emergency aid and provided necessary legal services to our clients, but it was damned hard. It felt good to reflect on the week and put some thoughts down on paper.
