The day before surgery, one would be a nervous wreck. Quite the opposite for me. Though I realized my spirit is far more ampitious than my body, today Moodus and I hiked up Mount Monadnock (without the children). To not worry about the tree roots (that make Hayden fall), the low branches that might get into Bella's eyes, or the rocks above was such a liberating feeling (don't get me wrong I love hiking with the children). Moodus and I were able to just be on the mountain. I needed to breathe, clear my head, and tire my body out. I am definately tired, I know I will get a good night's rest, and I am ready for tomorrow. To put this all behind me, is an incredible feeling.
