Breath Taking
So there I was, your humble narrator, jumping across a ravine(stream).
Sometimes when I am on vacation I end up doing more physical activity
than I ever do at home. Especially when I come up here to my friends
cabin in New Mexico. I end up hiking all over the place. One year I
came up here and learned to ski for the first time. Talk about near
death experiences. He had me going down the whole mountain on my
second day. I fell down on the edge of a cliff. Had it been a foot
farther I wouldn't be here today. Today I ended up jumping across many
streams, grabbing branches so that I didn't fall in. I didn't fall in,
but it sure was close. Now top it off with the altitude being 6000 ft
above sea level my breathing is as bad as Darth Vader. On the whole
the scenery is breathtaking. The hard part is my breath has already
been taken.
Thought of the Day
