I had a great summer full of friends, family, trips, jobs that appeared right when I needed them, challenging separations, long walks over big mountains, short walks up the hollows of Southern Ohio. Life is crazy.
Now it is almost fall... Kiddies are headed back to school and I found myself without a teaching position. I admit I was pretty upset at first, and I still struggle to not be hugely disappointed in myself, but then... Then I got this crazy opportunity... Which has brought me back to the blog... And which I'll probably blog much about in the coming weeks and months...
I took a job with the Green Mountain Club and Americorps... A crazy caretaker job where they pay me to sit atop Mt. Mansfield and tell people how great hiking is... And to hang out at Sterling Pond and encourage people to care for our mountain lakes.
Sure it means weird interactions, ridiculous situations, and sleeping in cabins with mice and stinky fellow caretakers... But life is nothing if not an amazing adventure. I am so very blessed.
I'll tell you more about this crazy ride I'm on soon... If the mice don't get me first!
