Cabin fever in the Badlands
5-20-2013 Cabin fever in the Badlands
After a whole night of wind and rain I woke up to… well, wind and rain! I have not made it out of the trailer this morning yet. I decided it would be a perfect day to organize myself a little. I am doing very well I have to say. Got rid of a whole box of unnecessary junk I brought. It is even hard to type with all the shakiness, the wind is brutal. I spent part time of the morning creating a memory wall with pictures from my past of people I love and I can never forget. It was a good exercise. A few tears here and there but overall a good positive feeling.
Despues de toda una noche de viento y lluvia me he levantado... con viento y lluvia. Creo que voy a pasar todo el dia en la caravana organizando todo un poco.
It is such a weird thing to be in a desert like place and it has not stopped raining for twelve hours. You would think I would start having a little of cabin fever but actually I am enjoying this time in my new home. Fortunately I have full internet connection through my cell phone, that helps.

Yesterday was a great day. For first time I was aware of the fact that I am by myself in a world full of opportunities. When I stop by the road and just stand, looking at the clouds, I felt the difference and the uniqueness of what I am doing. I had no guilt of taking my time, I had no schedule, I had nowhere to be, just being there hoping the sun would go through the clouds for a few seconds. I had my cameras and my thoughts with me. The reality of what I am doing is starting to hit me.
Ayer fue un dia muy bueno. Me di cuenta de verdad por primera vez que estoy solo en este viaje lleno de oportunidades. Cuando me pare en la carretera a observar las nubes entendi la unica oportunidad que estoy viviendo.

Wish I could write in Spanish but again that wouldn't be me
Glad you are enjoying the weather. With the hustles and bustles of life sometimes we need that kind of weather to slow us down and put us into perspective.
Glad to hear from you. I love the music and is going to make a great lullaby once am done typing.
Cheers my dear friend and looking forward to reading more from you.
Have a great night!
Parece que compartimos un poco el clima, por aquí lloviendo desde el jueves.
Muchas gracias por compartir este tiempo tb con nosotros.
Tenemos en el salón de casa una de las fotos de tu caravana: la de la meta de Berdejo en la que están los 3 hermanos y Marcos. Se ve la montaña, un cielo muy azul y vosotros tres con los brazos en alto en señal de victoria, Marcos no puede con su vida, su carita lo dice todo. Segura estoy que pronto habrá otra carrera para compartir con Álvaro y con los Quesadas que vendrán! ;D
Creo que, de algún modo u otro, todos estamos en un viaje.
Algunos nos paramos a mirar una flor, una puesta de sol, nos entretenemos con alguna actividad, otros tienen mucha prisa para hacerlo... Sabes que todos los que te queremos estaremos contigo en este viaje. Abre tu mente, tu corazón y tu espíritu! La vida te abre los brazos, no lo dudes!
Un saludo
