It was a beautiful day last Friday when I went early to Smith Rock (8 miles from my house) for a stroll. It had been a busy couple weeks so I wasn't so much up for a strenuous hike, but just wanted to have a non-reflective time when I just took time for myself in the midst of a busy time.
And the only think I could think of was how important it is to take regenerative self-care time. That's the whole point of this Adventure Blog, which also is an attempt to show the beauty of Central Oregon. What a great place to live! Enjoy the non-reflective pics. And make sure to take care of yourself!
Hi Folks: I haven't posted an adventure for a couple weeks partly because I've been busy, and partly because the weather hasn't been cooperating! But a couple weeks ago I was all set to hike Gray Butte, which is a pretty strenuous climb.
Unfortunately...
...when I came to a fork in the path, I took the wrong path.
It took me through the woods, with some nice views, but not on the path I was planning. How frustrating! All my plans and preparations were in vain.
But then I started enjoying Plan B.
And the beautiful sights, serenity, and beauty of Plan B. And I started enjoying Plan B. And realizing that sometimes when life gives you Plan B, when you're prepared for Plan A and that's what you have your mind set on, that Plan B can also be an enjoyable journey.
And by the time I got back to my car, I thought that I'll get to Gray Butte some day, but that Plan B was also wonderful. Kinda a good life lesson, I thought. Enjoy your day, even if it is Plan B!
