Networking
I just love this ‘Social Networking’. I’ve met more interesting people from all over the place…everywhere. I have fine friends from Indonesia that are avid backpackers and climbers. They are young guys barely 20 years old and have discovered that adventure and nature are enjoyable and so important. Most of the jargon spoken is in Indonesian but I’ve downloaded a translator. With this, I can get the idea of what they are saying, a lot of the time. When I send them a post in English they are polite enough to respond in my language. You just have to love the Internet. I have a pal in Australia that is involved with the outback, and posts about culture in the towns. On my very website, I have members living all over the United States and Canada. It’s sooo… cool. I have a bunch of videos on YouTube and the traffic is increasing daily. The vids are mostly from my recent backpacking trek and are flush with us having fun at our newly found base-camp. Often, I’m adding new videos and will continue, until all eighteen are uploaded. I’m a member of Facebook, Twitter, Days of Adventure, Goexplore, Live Space, Publish America, Friday on the Trail, The Book Cubby, Blogger.com, and more. It is a ton of fun.
Most of my life I’ve counted every moment and wouldn’t have bothered with trivialities as such. I was so wrong. Now I have this new hobby and the whole world is not actually passing me by…or falling apart. I’ve reduced my level of stress immensely and happiness is what living is all about…isn’t it?
We need to rethink life as we know it and start enjoying every moment. If you’re already there, then know that you are there and enjoy.
