How
were you challenged today?

I was challenged today by leaving Curry Village. It was
hard to cut off communication w/ people back home &
not have the luxury of a phone. I was also a little challenged
by the hike, but it wasn't too bad. Although I've been backpacking
before, I was able to push myself physically & emotionally
which allowed me to learn things about myself that I hadn't
known before. I was also challenged by discovering a non-found
appreciation for certain blessed "throne" back
at home.
Another thing that was hard for me was making the decision
to follow them with the hike because I was getting the early
stages of a migraine. But I am truly thankful that I persevered
because Yosemite is so beautiful - it is almost surreal.
