Be a Kid!

One of my favorite things to do as a child was play in the woods.  I've never been on an official hiking trip (other than hashing on trails) but I went for the first time this weekend.  And it was awesome!  We didn't do anything fancy.  Just a 1-mile trail at Ruffner Mountain with some awesome friends/parents and their kids.  You really forget how amazing God's creation is until you get outside.  Plus, in a generation that has pretty much become "stand off'ish", you forget what it is really like to have relationships with people.  And hiking lets you form those relationships.  Nothing is cooler than coming up with crazy stories and songs while hiking.  I really thought that with age your imagination disappears until i was out in the woods walking along with the crew this Saturday.

So get outside!  Enjoy the earth.  And enjoy others company.  It's a good cure for the blues and makes for some good stories.
