Well I would write something more here, but I’ll procrastinate a little more. Atually, I am working on something that I’ve put off for way to long. So I’m getting there!

Every time I move, which has been often the last 5 years, I always end up getting rid of more stuff. I inevitably get more, but moving always spurs me on to drop some much un-needed baggage. I am currently in the process of selling off some of my old stuff on Ebay, and feel very good about doing it. I do keep certain things from my past, as mementos, but mostly I’m getting rid of things I don’t use or don’t really need.
Oh my! this is an awesome experience

I zip lined in Costa Rica at Monteverde. It was so awesome. I am afraid of heights, but I still did this, and loved every minute of it. Well, outside of this short panic attack while climbing a 60 foot metal tower on the top of a mountain for the highest line. But once to the top, and was off into the cloud filled sky, it was well worth it!! Anyone looking to do this should definitely give it a try.
