Calendar Books by Allen James - Daily Reading - "The Journey: A Calendar Book"


 

For June 2nd from "The Journey : A Calendar Book", our reading is "Go hiking when you can".

Although the premise continues to focus on getting out and experiencing life in whatever way best suits you, hiking is an ideal activity to "experience" life.

As I've written before, at 40 I was gifted an extreme hike into the mountains of Oregon. The experience invigorated me and opened my eyes to the transformation which can take place when we allow ourselves the opportunity.

I mentioned Lee's Bluff last weekend; a bluff which holds a beautiful view of the river winding around curves of wooded inlets, sand covered "beachlets", and ideal camping spots.

Atop the bluff one experiences the freedom which comes from standing and "taking it all in". On the "beachlet" below one realizes the comfort which comes while lying in a hammock strung between two Cypress or the comradeship squatting around a crackling campfire with friends can bring.

Although I don't get to experience these activities often, when I do I hold them as special times which bring positive outcomes and positive feelings; times which are vital components to personal success.

Go hiking when you can. Endulge yourself in your own experience.

Keep looking up.
