I climbed a mountain today.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t the first time I climbed a mountain, but it was the most euphoric.<\/p>\n

It started off as a gorgeous day in paradise.\u00a0 I was on the trail by 7:30 am.\u00a0 Two hours later it was sprinkling.\u00a0 I had studied the weather.\u00a0 It wasn’t supposed to do that.\u00a0 I looked at the clouds; looked at the sky.\u00a0 I decided that there was no chance of lightning.\u00a0 The clouds weren’t tall enough.\u00a0 I wasn’t stopping.\u00a0 By the time I reached the top of the mountain, it was sunny again with white fluffy clouds. Perfect.<\/p>\n

It was on the way down the euphoria set in.\u00a0 I wished I could have shared it, but finally decided that this was a personal euphoria that couldn’t be shared.\u00a0 If someone else had been with me, I probably wouldn’t have experienced it.<\/p>\n

Here are the photos from the hike.\u00a0 Click for the larger versions.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
