I think I would regard my first “climb” up High Rock as a climb, especially the last third up that mountain, when we hit snow. It was grueling, slipping, sliding, crawling and clinging onto my son, Shannon. But I made it! I had one thing that literally drove me to conquer this mountain – to congratulate my son on his success graduating and achieving excellent results at the University of Washington, U.S.A. In other words, I had a purpose – an aim, even at the age of 66 years.

JOY on your Journey

Is this JOY? Someone’s birthday whom you love? No, that is not joy!
