My favorite past time is not sitting around watching t.v., playing video games, or even reading. My favorite thing to do in the world is to go for a hike each day. Most of the time with friends, but even by myself is something that I really cherish. Being among nature and the world is something in life that I truly cherish. I love nothing more than getting up randomly, packing a back pack, and hitting the trail. It gives me time to evaluate the present situation, and think of what needs to be different. It gives me time to clear my mind, and think of how lucky I truly am. We live in a great world, and my only wish is to experience it. I want to see the world, and figure out how it works. No hiking in central Illinois might not be the Swiss Mountains, but it's a start, right?
