Ambition should be made of sterner stuff

Got off track a little with my Healthy Wage when we went on vacation.  But rafting down the Green River in Utah put some of that ambition back in me.  Ah...what a vision....me with the paddle in my hand...weighing down the back to keep us steady...(Good thing I didn't fall in---the thing would probably have flipped!)

Unsteady steps to see the petroglyphs on the McConkey Ranch in Utah.  Ran into strangers from Ohio who asked "are you OK."  Face red as a beet, gasping for air as if it was my last breath.

Ran into the SAME COUPLE the next day.  Hundreds of miles away hiking in Dinosaur National Monument from the Colorado side.  There must be a reason for coincidence!  "You look better today," he said.  He was obviously pleased that he wouldn't have to employ any CPR skills.  But, I made it too the end of the hike!  (And got back, too)  Several strangers along the way didn't get that far.  Wahoo!  I think i can, I think I can, I think I can...I KNOW I can!
