I finally got the hiking crew on the Pacific Crest Trail and they are \u00a0HOOKED.
\nI have been slowly getting my gear together for my 40 mile in 4 day hike next year and I was hell bent on doing with or without them. \u00a0During the week I go to REI and get more one on one time with the people that have done this and I ask a million questions and get a million different answers. \u00a0 So far I have my tent and my sleeping back. Both are ultra light. The backpack I have is far to heavy and I am going to get an Osprey light weight pack. \u00a0I am willing to sacrifice some things for light weight gear and apparently that is all the money I have in my account.<\/p>\n

In the last month I realized that my Nathan pack has tasted kind of wonky. \u00a0After many attempts of cleaning it, I decided to bite the bullet and buy a new bladder. Hopefully it will make a difference because I was having to drink bottled water on the trail and HELLLLOOOOO did I look like a damn rookie.<\/p>\n

So, the single life. \u00a0If I could get a grade at it, it would be an A+. \u00a0This is exactly where I need to be in my life.
\nIn the last two weeks I have weaned myself off all medication and I feel so much better. \u00a0Looking back on the last year, it was really rough. I was battling demons I had no idea were even there. \u00a0There was a hope that after I got better that I would invite a certain person back into my life, but that ship sailed when I noticed that this person deleted all the music that as a couple we had put into a file. \u00a0Those songs meant more to me than any physical possession\u00a0he gave me. \u00a0Those melodies and words are what got me through and made me fall in love deeper than I had ever expected. \u00a0I haven’t been that angry and upset in a very long time. \u00a0LUCKILY, my meditation came to the rescue and I was able to recenter quickly.
\nNow I am free of medication and any relationship. \u00a0Life is damn good.<\/p>\n

I’m ready to make 2016 as amazing as 2012. \u00a0No, i’m ready to make it amazinger. (yes, that is a word)<\/p>\n

Single-check.
\nHealthy-check.
\nHappy- checkitycheckcheckcheck.
\nCan do whatever I want, whenever I want without feeling a single bit of guilt- CHECK.<\/p>\n
