“I don’t need therapy; I just need to go camping.” UnknownI planned a camping trip for my husband’s birthday so he could go fishing, one of his favorite things to do for R&R. This first morning camping in our new trailer, Wayne was out fishing before six am. I slept until seven. I dressed to walk the dog and returned with visions of doing a quiet time with my coffee in the great outdoors.
I started a fire. I used to love to watch logs burn. It took the chill off the early morning hours in the hills. Then I took Abbey on a long walk, her favorite thing to do, especially with all the new smells. Fortunately I had two doggie bags in my pocket. One I used to pick up bottle tops and other small litter, the sight of which disappoints me. But now—not in a rush to be somewhere—I could do something about it.
Wayne is now reading (or napping) in his new hammock and I’m comfortably settled with my laptop...both of us doing something enjoyable on our ‘therapy’ camping trip.
