The dog days of summer have arrived. It is nothing but hot and sticky from here on out. I hope you have some shade when you need to take a break. And be sure to drink plenty of water – you must keep the body hydrated.

Hiking

If you are going hiking, the most important thing to take on your hike is a good pair of boots. You must protect your feet and ankles. Make sure you wear at least one pair of good boot socks so you don’t end up with blisters. These are the ones I got.

A good friend of mine has invited me to go hiking at a local park this weekend. It’s a great place because of the nice hiking trails they have and also all of the other things they offer there like boat ramps and the fishing is pretty good in the lake too. There are picnic areas in the woods beside the water where you can take your family for picnics and also a beach type area for the kids to go swimming too.
Oh man I just realized I need some new hiking boots. Guess I better get in gear and find some.

I just needed some alone time with all of the changes that have gone on in my life lately. Between my cousin passing away, quitting my job and checking out colleges to get into this fall, I just needed a break. Time to sort out everything and just do nothing but sit back and enjoy nature for awhile.
Being around water and nature calms me. Everyone needs to find what calms them so when their life becomes hectic, they can go or do what ever it is to help them find their center again. But who am I to give that kind of advice? I’m just someone like the rest of us who’s looking for my own center in life.
It’s official now

I finally did it. I quit my job and am going to sign on as a full time student online. My father has wanted me to do this for so long that he even threw out an added incentive. He told me that if I will go back to college full time in any field as long as it has something to do with law, he would pay for it and all of my expenses including my living expenses. That’s not a bad deal now is it?
We sat down last night and worked out the final details of the arrangement. Of course I have money saved from working and that will be my backup money in case my father thinks I’m spending ‘his’ money unwisely which just might happen knowing how tight he can be but that’s how he got to where he is today so I’m not complaining at all. Now I just have to find an online college that he’ll approve of. I bet he’s already checking them out.
