making peace...

Current location: north of Dalton, Massachusettes

Accumulated miles: 1080ish

Today found me in Dalton, MA after a long sleepless night in a shelter a few miles from town. As we were heading to Dalton yesterday afternoon we stopped to chat about thru hiking with some ladies and then it started raining.. so we stayed in a shelter instead with 2 women and a 4 year old... AND A MOUSE.

#1 fear of old Carly? Mice!! (geckos, birds, and bats). I hate them in an unexplainable way. I've avoided shelters repeatedly to not have to deal with them... yet there one was... TRAUMA!!

So today I thought a bunch about making peace. At some point I will have to coexist with the mice. At some point I will have to be ok with them. I have to choose to stop being a "girl" about it and be a "serious hiker".

There is a lot I need to make peace with in my life that is bigger than mice. Things I need to learn about where God has me right now and make peace with. Life isn't perfect, but everything is in God's control... and he certainly knows whats best for me.

So today, while I haul myself over some really big hills... I am looking to make peace within myself, so I can be open to the amazing possibilities that stand in front of me.

Making peace....
