I went for a 6 mile hike yesterday in the middle of a wind storm up to Sunrise Peak. It was awesome. Exhilarating. At the top, I sat against a pile of warmly sunned rocks and let the wind blow over me, drowning out my ever-present thoughts. A huge rainbow stretched across the south sky, disappearing into the clouds and appearing again many miles north. I was alone on my journey to the peak and realized that no matter what happens in life and who comes in and out, I will always be stuck with myself. And so I have to make the best of me.

My father was a junior high guidance counselor for a while - and in his office he hung up motivational posters, which were nothing more than some famous person's quote with a 70's influenced graphic.
One stuck with me though at the time I didn't know exactly waht it meant.
