For whatever reason, I've forever been acutely aware of the preciousness of this life, the speed with which it passes, and the desire to live with no regrets. Never felt like there was time to waste doing other than what called to my soul. For now, that means traveling full-time, spending as much time as possible in nature hiking, biking, and kayaking and sharing adventures with good friends. Thanks for this wonderfully written and inspiring post, Mark.

My restlessness is growing, I'm sure in part because of Alex leaving for his trek across country. I'm tempted to sell everything that won't fit in the car and set out on my own journey.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10420867831575943368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-88583541548500376542015-11-28T06:52:35.891-07:002015-11-28T06:52:35.891-07:00Thank you for this posting especially.

I still remember you not getting upset when Petro Rex got hung up on an off road boulder ledge. No problem, just happen to have a chain for the jeep behind to hook up and pulled my vehicle off the rock ledge. Life is fun of adventure, can't let a few obstacles set you back.

I love the way you and Bobbie continue to operate on the edge although most of us others can no longer do so at our age. Everyone should be true to their inner voice, whatever melody it is playing. Don't judge others because their tune is different and more limiting or maybe shorter in duration. I've come to realize that everyone of a certain age tries to just do the best they can with what they've got. That includes ambition, physical abilities, financial resources, and the more mundane practicalities including the dreaded W: working until death, or close to it. For some of us, home and hearth are all that's left. Hopefully friend, unless you die out there on some trail, you will come to realize the comfort of the former at some point in time. Until then, enjoy and keep sending us these wonderful messages and photos.
