I Have Complicated Feelings About Hiking
I have complicated feelings about hiking. My husband and I just took a trip to Maine, and we did a lot of hikes. Truthfully, I hated doing it at times, but I loved to have done it. Does that make sense?
I’d rather be camping
I just spent the weekend in a small one room cabin in the woods with my husband and two sons and loved every minute of it, even when it wasn’t perfect.
I know camping isn’t for everyone. I have plenty of friends who think we are crazy for wanting to sleep in the woods in a tent. They would rather be in a hotel and I get that. But we love being IN nature and camping is the best way to do that by far.
How full is YOUR bucket?
This really makes a difference in your happiness level! If you are unfamiliar with the concept check out the book “How full is your bucket?” by Tom Rath and Donald O. Clifton (it even comes in a kid’s version). We both read this book and greatly agreed with the general concept that each of us has a bucket that is constantly being filled or emptied, depending on our interactions with others. When our bucket is full we feel great, but when it is empty, we feel awful (p 15). How do we keep it full? Spend some time thinking about the things that make you happiest and check back here for tips!
