I must have lied

I took an online quiz this morning to determine my 'spirit animal' -

 because, of course, these time sucks are authentic 

and scientifically based.

Imagine my surprise -

and delight -

when I got this result!

Your spirit animal is the Hummingbird 

Characteristics: 

Lightness of being, joy, independence, swiftness, resiliency

 

Spirit Animal Profile: 

The hummingbird spirit symbolizes the enjoyment of life 

and lightness of being. 

Those who have the hummingbird as a totem 

are invited to enjoy the sweetness of life, 

lift up negativity wherever it creeps in 

and express love more fully in their daily endeavors. 

This fascinating bird is capable of the most amazing feats 

despite its small size, 

such as traveling great distances 

or being able to fly backwards.

Oh, how I wish.

Truth be told,

my 'spirit animal' is this:

the Sloth.

Characteristics:

has almost perfected the art of laying around,

watching fingernails grow;

will occasionally get up to let the dogs out,

only because if I didn't,

they'd mess in the house -

which would involve work and cleaning it up!

~~~~~~~~~~

Training - 

and walking miles every day - 

 is going well
(considering the truth revealed above); 

even if its only my compression socks 

holding me up 

at the end of the day!

Only 3 more sessions with my personal trainer.

How did 10 months go by so quickly?

Re-thinking the whole "not taking a sleeping bag"

as I read about the temp and SNOW in the elevations...

fine tuning the backpack contents will, 

no doubt, continue up until departure time.

Going to practice the packing this weekend!
