Life throws us some interesting pitches.
Been awhile since I got on here. What can I say, life got in the way!
So, some on here know I was my 95 yr old Dad's primary caregiver for 8 yrs. He has Alzhimer's. Anyway about 18 mos ago one of my sisters finally stepped up and took over. Lord knows I needed it. I was pretty much a mess after 8 yrs of it, without any help!
I had to get the hell out of town, and start a new life. Even tho I have a BS degree in Geology, when your out of a field of science that long and your 58, you can forget about getting a job doing that.
I decided to go where I'm most comfortable, the mountains. So I sold everything I owned that wouldn't fit in my truck or that I wouldn't need. Bought a big cabin tent, wood stove, and few other items, packed up and high tailed it to a national forest in the mountains outside Santa Fe NM.
And here I've been. Surviving off the land for the last 18mos. Smokin my pipes, healing my soul, and pondering the next journey life may pitch my way.
After all that pondering, I came to one definate conclusion, I couldn't have done this without my pipes! You just never know when they may save your soul!
Cheers, from the top!
