They say that hiking and nature are healing. I’ve always believed that, but until recently I don’t think I’ve really experienced it first hand. Sparing you many of the details (some of which can be found in previous posts here and here), last week my best friend and doggie companion Sadie left this world. This has of course made me super sad and emotional. In the first few days without her, I couldn’t really bear to be in my silent condo, so escaping to the mountains for a camping, hiking and Perseid meteor shower-viewing weekend seemed like the best idea ever.
I’m so sorry to hear about Sadie. I absolutely think she was checking in on you.
