The 365 Commitment

Blog 182 – Going Up The Mountain

I’m going up a mountain today for a week long retreat where I will be a counselor.  I have never done such a thing before, so this will be new territory for me.

I am looking forward to the cooler nights and the pine smell of the forest.  The change of environment and the spiritual nature  of the week should provide opportunity for reflection and perspective.

I will take my 365 Commitment with me and hopefully be able to link this old apple computer to my phones hotspot.

Technical challenges aside, I hope this coming week will be a good reset of mind, body and spirit.  And, I hope to re-focus on my 365 Commitment process and good habits!
