Continuing on from yesterdays post I just wanted to continue on that topic now that I am in a much better and more mindful place.
Life is to be experienced. Possessions add little to nothing to ones overall life. It is the experiences that we recall. They are the stories we tell. They are what inspire others. As I have written before I want to inspire others to go do and see what they feel is impossible. Set the goals and pursue them. do your best. I am doing my best to reach the goal of trekking the EBC and hopefully the additional Goyko Ri trek in 2026. I am basically going from couch potato to mega hiker in three years. I want to reach base camp, hike up Kalapathar and Goyko Ri to see four of the world's 14 peaks that reach above 8,000 m! They are: Mount Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu.
I know I don't write much about my hope to do some volunteer work while I am in Nepal. It was what initially led me to wanting to travel there. It was only after looking at things to do while there that I stumbled across the EBC trek and knew that I have to do that. I haven't yet decided what kind of volunteer work I will do, but will either be teaching English, or working with disadvantaged women. There are some construction projects that I would currently be able to do (I love DIY/construction) but I am aware that it is getting a bit more difficult to do and in three years it could be a bit more than I would want to commit to. I think working with disadvantaged women would be a meaningful way to give my time and have a positive impact on someone's life.
I am aware that I am getting older, I am Senior Citizen old. I don't feel it. I have to regularly remind myself of it. I just have to keep feeling as good (if not better) for the next three years. I can do this.
I CAN DO THIS!
