It’s been a restless night, grass tufts and a slight slope kept me from a deep sleep. All sleep deprevation and other frustrating thoughts slipped my mind, the minute I looked outside, and saw the beginnings of daylight. WOW! I will never tire of this sight, ever!
I lay there, staring at the world below, thinking about life down there, about everybody who is waking up to a new day, a new week, some eager for what awaits them, and some anxious, others, reluctant to let go of the aftermath of a brilliant weekend.
We packed up, filled our water bottles, had a snack for breakfast, and away we go! We had quite a climb that awaits us, but nothing too serious. It was nice and warm outside, for the most part at least. Our phones went crazy, and at one point I almost found myself becoming a little hysterical thinking of all the work that we needed to do, and the little time we had in which to do it.
We could finally set another date for the launch of Go4Good, which will be on the 14th of July. We still have to confirm it with some of our sponsors, but it seems like we might just pull it off then. This just means that we have to get our asses off this mountain, and fast, because we have to make this launch happen in the best way possible, and seems like it’s just the two of us that will do it, and not much time to do it in.
I was so wrapped up in thought today that I tripped and fell twice already. Thank goodness, the first time, no one saw me, but the second time, Maria was standing there looking at me, and I think it must’ve been funny, because she had a suppressed grin whilst helping me up.
Anyway, it’s distracting, knowing all of this, and concentrating on one’s surroundings all at the same time. You know! Technology, can be a good thing, but sometimes a bitch! Had we not had access to mobile phones, or connectivity, we would’ve traipsed along happy, and oblivious of what awaits us.
It’s all good though, because from where I’m standing now, I can see the end of the mountain. So give or take 1-2 days, and we’ll be done. Then it’s back to the drawing board.
It’s sunset time again, and even more stunning than the day before. In the distance, I can see the farm where I grew up. I’m having a stroll down memory lane, a good one. WOW! I’m in awe of that which surrounds me, and I feel so energized when I walk back to where we set up camp.
We have a lot to talk about though, business, and launch, and lots more. Finally it’s time to lay down this weary head. I lie down and look up at the most amazing starry sky. So much is written in the stars, I think, but before I could elaborate on that thought, I fell asleep.
Sweet dreams
