Daddy is going camping this weekend ! :D

[snugglehumps]

Yep, tis the season for getting the F out of the house and going out for a weekend trip in the woods. I typically do these a few times a year where I bring all the comforts of home with me and spend a few nights out in the woods. I love camping, and living free and far from civilization. Or at least feeling that way. 

I bring a small mushroom and some nice jammies and I snuggle up and warm and snug and meditate, working on the energy within. I do this to keep healthy and in touch with the ground, the earth, the nature all around us. I think its why I am so deeply connected with the universe. I am safe, healthy, and open to these kinds of experiences because they can really show you who you are, and what you are. I love what I see and feel and experience when I go out like this, I am so looking forward to it!

:D It is fun, I love being out in nature, with nothing but trees and leaves and squirrels and all that life out there. It helps to remind me life is so much more than society, work, school, debts, responsibilities we assign ourselves / each other. It has been a while for me too but I do try to make it a regular occurrence. I don't have a favorite spot because most of the time, I am trying a new spot each time. There is this one spot though, when I was homeless for a period of time while attending college, I was camping out across the road and up the hill in the thick wooded area off campus right, and well it had an amazing lookout. I could see the entire campus and town, all the lights at night, it was really really nice! I miss that place and time in my life, but I was struggling and life was tough and I eventually moved on after a couple years there. 

I miss northern cali a lot, that is where that spot was, It has been over 10 years since but I often think about that location and waking up to the deer and turkeys . . . squirrels always jumping on the tent and fighting over nuts or whatever it is squirrels do lol, yea, in the winter it was a lil chilly but warm enough to bare it so that was a strategic decision to head that way for that period of time. While there I helped a local shelter as a care taker and helped on the construction crews to turn their old church into a 110 bed shelter, that place is still running today and I do miss the friends I made there, very much. 

Where I am now, I head out to the river, and gain some elevation for a view, there is valley and its long and I can go anywhere, so I follow the electrical lines up north and stop when I feel like I got a good work out and there's a good view :D But if I were to say, any area that is thick in trees and brush and away from civilization, that is my fav place.

Aww. I’m so sorry you had to go through that. However it sounds like you made the most of it and that it was a pretty neat spot. Yeah I really hope to go camping next year. A friend told me about this app called SkyView Lite and I really can’t wait to be camping and using it. If you like constellations and such you should check it out!

I am all out of reactions today other wise I would be loving your replies btw. but yea um, I love looking at the stars! I will lay out in a field all night watching them. I have not heard of that app, not even in astronomy class, so I will have to check that out, thanks for sharing!!! I hope you go camping again soon, seems like you really enjoy it too :D <3 

What was tough most of all about my life so far is how much moving around I have done. All the while wanting a stable home that is safe and secure. I managed to create this several times but something would come along and I would end up losing grasp and poof, it was nice while it lasted. Just recently got a particular matter sorted and now I get a small check every month for that sacrifice, and for the first time in my life, I was able to live in one place for 5 years . . . one apt, one address, it was really really nice. I attempted a job offer across the country though, and yep as you might have guessed, it didnt work out so I had moved again, and then again. lol . . . but now I am working on year 3 in the new place and it is great. I will (should) never have to be homeless again and all of those needs are met. So I can live my life now . . . deep breathe of gratefulness because I know life is tough and if I didn't have my ducks in a row, I could end up back out there on the streets. 

Good thing is, when this did happen I would never go to the streets, I take my tent and get out to the woods and build me a huge fort and sure enough it is a home and I always loved that no matter where I layed my head or what troubles I was facing, I was able to make the best of it and it passed, and things changed and life was good again. I considered all of those trials, and lessons, in which I deeply reflect on. I only have a few regrets in life, and I am thankful everyday for what I have. I just wish others had more or better, it always bugs me to see people struggling, but I understand it is a method of nature by which is tempering. :) It was all good times anyway even though some where not because I am a happy go lucky nerd. :D

No worries on the reactions. I’m just glad to hear you are in a stable spot now! That makes me happy. The moving around a lot sounds stressful. I haven’t moved around a whole lot and the few times I have it’s been stressful. So I really can’t imagine how that was for you. However I really like your positive attitude. Making the best of things and appreciating the good moments is always good. I need to work on that personally. I get stressed and nervous too easily. 
 

You will have to tell me if you get the app and if you liked it! 😊

Yea I feel ya on that. It was tough. Ever since I was a kid it was a mess. I am one tough cookie though . hehehehehe :P and yea I am lucky I think I have a good heart so holding onto hate or fear is not in my nature, I had to learn to overcome and dominate, not be aggressive, but simply dominative. It has finally been paying off, I have been living a retired life since I was in my mid 30's so I am not and should not be complaining. I am fully able and am looking forward to what life has to offer. I plan to take sailing lessons, for example, and hope to get a small sail boat, and yea, I love traveling but moving sucks . . . . lol omg you are so right on that, it is stressful. I wanna see the world, I wanna be free and away from the toxicity here, and yea so I am working hard on making that a reality. almost there ! 

I will check that app out but I will need to use a ahh disposable smart phone or one that I don't use often. Long story short I have a background and education in computing and yea what is happening with all the tech stuff is terrible. I do not use Google services, or Apple for that matter so I will get that program installed on a dummy phone. my private phone I keep from those companies and use a particular phone and OS for it that frees me from that tracking and surveillance. That said, in the meantime, I will do a little searching on it and see what it has to offer. I have a telescope, I use it, I love astronomy and cosmology and all that nerdy science stuff cause well, it is just interesting to me! 

but sure, I can't balance the checkbook for the life of me, I strive to live out there where all those possibilities exist. :D
