On the way to Reno for my daughters volleyball tournament I had a chance drive up Hey 395. That is my slice Heaven on earth. A cool hike going up to 11,000 feet elevation. Nobody in the world cared if I made it to my destination. Lungs burning, bad knee crying, Schatt’s Bakery calling and fresh dump of April snow laughing at me with wrong shoes…. but not a chance of cutting hike short because I LOVE being up there in that with nobody but the Nutcracker birds screaming. YOU have dreams, goals and legit needs / when you “know” you can’t make it - find what you will LOVE when you get to your destination. Focus on that and block the pain, discomfort, excuses and fear out. Just keep putting one foot forward towards your destination! As always - if you need a kick in the butt / I am happy to be your cheerleader or drill sergeant.
