Resolution #9 - 01/01/15 09:45 AM
We’re not big believers in making New Years’ resolutions. For one thing, if something is that important to us, we’ll try to work on it, no matter what the date. And if it’s not that important, tying it to a calendar isn’t likely to make it matter to us more.
But we do have one resolution we are going to follow in 2015…and follow it resolutely. We are going to make, and take, more time for ourselves. We are going to spend more time in the mountains, backpacking, and seeing the parts of the world that we love so much. We aren’t getting any younger, and there is no reason to wait. We don’t need more stuff. But we would like to have more fun!
Admittedly, others feel differently. And if you have one you’d like to share, we'd love to know about it.

In light of that cavalier attitude towards saving for when we can no longer can get out the door, we decided to join a local gym today, as we hiked off a mountain with our packs on. We train for the Sierra, we train for the Grand Canyon , we train to keep on keeping on, which, as all well know , gets harder with age. Someday trails will be unattainable physically; we want to push that away as long as possible.
