Come Back To Your Roots

While on a recent summer, I happened to stop by this small cafe on Highway 395 in Eastern California.  As many of you are aware, I did spend some time in Eastern Sierra wilderness.  I have a video address from the backcountry here on the website.  The cafe reminded me of one my father would take me to on our long treks to the Eastern Sierra’s for summer backpacking.  When I think of the drive back then with less than perfect roads and my father as the only driver, I feel blessed one hundred times over because of the sacrifices that were made by him.  This brought me back to my roots in terms of remembering where we have come from.  I wanted to share this with you so that you will remember to come back to your roots every now and then.  Appreciate where you have been, and give thanks for where you are heading.  These are the best self help lessons anyone can ask for – the true experience of reminiscing.
