A couple days after Thanksgiving, most of the Walker family went on a little hike. Yes, even this 9 month pregnant lady! When I say "little" that word really means that it was pretty intense to the top of the Little Butte. It wasn't really a walk in the park. BUT I LOVED IT!
I decided to do a little tribute to hiking because I love how it parallels life so much.
Every time I go on a hike I wonder why I like this activity or if it is going to be worth it at all. I have to constantly remind myself (and usually my kids at some point) that THIS IS FUN!
But then, when you get to the top- it feels so great! I love looking at the great views and KNOWING that it was worth it and it was so fun.
It is totally worth the racing heart and the sore legs just for the sense of accomplishment and the literal high that only comes from looking over some beautiful vista.
So it goes with life.
Sometimes I think we have to remind ourselves of the joy IN the journey and have the faith that all the "hard" is worth it.
And then feel the overwhelming sense of joy and success that comes from sticking it out and making it to the top!
