Climbing Mountains

This morning I was supposed to climb Table Mountain.

When the alarm woke me @ 6pm it was POURING with rain. I snoozed the alarm for 20 minutes and finally faced the now much colder bathwater..... mmmmhhmmm..... wish I'd got in when it was still hot. Wonder if we're still climbing, there's been no cancellation sms or emails.

I sent an sms @ 6:45 to enquire and yes, when I was halfway to Cape Town I got the cancellation SMS. Driving along I made a few stops and enquiries into aspects of our roadtrip, almost ONE month from now!!!

What I got out of it all, is how tempting it is to cancel on events, meetings, parties, PEOPLE, dates and so on, which is what I wanted to do laying snug under my feather down duvet. Then when I went through the motions of getting ready and leaving, I was committed to go do the WILD thing and climb that MOUNTAIN. And when the cancelled message came through I was RELIEVED because it was really cold and wet, but I was THANKFUL for being able to use the time differently. After all, I had an open block of morning to do whatever I wanted to. And from there I got to create a day that 's included writing and reading and being inspired by other brave heart women.

So being committed and having integrity to my WORD is vital and has my life WORK. Then when there's a change in PLAN beyond my control, it's WOOOPIE, let's go play, which is what being a child is all about. Such FREEDOM and GRATITUDE in the moment.

I will be talking about the mountain climb some more, another time, because it will have been postponed for another date, and I have LOADS to share about THAT.
