Episode 18: Day 27-28

Day 27:

EAT 

SLEEP

IMAGINATE

Was definitely a different sort of rest day without a book. But I kept myself company and did just fine.

I did a bit of blessings meditation that I learned from the book “Happiness Is An Inside Job” (by Sylvia Boorstein). Pretty much, this just involves picturing the people that you care about (including yourself) and wishing them well. I often use the phrases provided in the book: “May you feel strong. May you feel safe. May you be content. May you live with ease.”

I also spent a good amount of time visualizing conversations that I have had, would like to have, and will never have. Very interesting exercise.

Day 28:

Started hiking at 7am.

Met another Floridian! (Jonathan)

We hiked together for a while and then we came upon some trail magic! Chocolate milk, apples, raisins, and graham crackers! YUM

And we’re hiking…

Eventually, we took a break at a lake that was very popular with the locals (I assume partly due to Memorial Day weekend). 

Finished the day hiking with a guy called “Chocolate Milk.” He earned the name by drinking at least half a gallon of chocolate milk in every town. 

I went into a gas station and pretty much bought every snack I could, checked into the hotel, showered, ate, and went to bed (in a real bed!).

Islands of adventure:

What scenery! (And wind):
