Taking a breather today at the San Antonio Zoo today. My great uncle passed away this morning and I was a bit sad here. He was a great man and he will be very missed. The zoo was long but perfect weather!

Lifetime Dream # 151 of my list of 155: I will complete my second journal of 3,000 pages, reflecting on the many paths and experiences that I walk through day after day, month after month. I will keep the same design with parchment paper, and make each page's design unique.
Journaling has always been a part of my life in one form or another… in a way this blog on Flickr is a form of journaling I suppose. There’s just something different to me about writing your thoughts as opposed to typing them out. Maybe it’s just the nostalgia of writing- a slowly-dying art form (think about how many letters you’ve written and mailed in the last year… or hand notes you’ve passed as opposed to e-mailing or texting!).
I am slowly trying to get back to this practice… I completed my first 3,000-page journal in 2008, and have since started a new journal. I just had to put that writing on hold for a time. Hopefully that time is ending soon. I changed the second journal up just a bit with how I am doing the page numbers and they texts of runes at the top and bottom. They are still cryptic messages or texts that moved my world, written and re-ordered to flow together into a series that I guess only makes sense to me.
I started writing through some things this morning, and I forgot how nice it feels to get things out. I love a warm cup of coffee, wonderful music and lights… and a head full of thoughts. So much to say, but so little time unfortunately.

Lifetime Dream # 82 of my list of 155: I will hike 10 miles in at least 35 different states, countries or territories. I will research the most scenic and popular trails, relying on my love of hiking in the outdoors. For every place I will collect a patch to commemorate the hike.
Hiking has always been a passion of mine since my days in the Boy Scouts of America. I always have had such a desire to travel and see the world as well. What better way to do it than foot and across the outdoors of trees, hills, and mountains?

Okay so I got a haircut, but not a shave. Got through with my final exam, and both of my final papers. Was a rough week between sickness, work drama, school, school, and more school. Day after day of 100 degree temperatures doesn’t help either.
Tomorrow’s a new beginning and I have a lot of hope…

I have lots on my mind… I have traveled all over the world, but now the change- now the travel will soon be permanent. I love new adventures, I love new experiences… but it’s going to be hard to say goodbye to some people…
