Yes, I know it had been a while since I have said anything here...a very long time. But really, I found it very difficult to express myself utilizing a smart phone. I really would prefer to use a laptop for a tablet for that task.
So, here it is the end of June and the season has taken off. The first few months (April and May) have been taken up by school charter trips. We would take a classroom sized groups out and about for a week. It is great. I remember my 5th, 6th, and 8th grade school trips quite well. In fact, I feel they shaped my love of the outdoors so much, I just had to work in that kind of environment in order to feel complete.
As the season opens up for me, I think of all I have done and if I feel like I am moving in the direction of fulfillment. I can answer, YES. It is a compromise to work seasonally and for low wages, but the rewards are great and my "wealth" does not come from a bank account or collected physical items. It come from knowing my work is important and affects hundreds of people in such a positive way that they are for ever changed. My birthday is tomorrow which causes me to ponder a little about my life. One aspect that comes to mind is my high school year book senior quote under my photo which reads, "
I'd rather wake up in the middle of nowhere, than in any city on earth." I think my life reflects that vision and I embrace the chance to lead others to great adventures.
So it's back on the big green bus for a while with few days off until Oct. I was going to start to bring my laptop along so I could blog, but it is going on the fritz. The monitor is flashing all sorts of psychedelic colors. I have been told that the computer has about run its course and time for another. Dang! Just when I am broke. Lol on me. I guess I will have to be patient with myself as I blog w/ a smart phone.
