MAYBE IT'S TIME I PUT AWAY MY HIKING GEARS?

I always tried my level best to keep my word. Once I have promised someone something and when I will honour my word. So yesterday I took some friends to another route at Tabur hill, which not many people know about this trail. Anyway on the eve of this hike I had informed my wife that I would be out hiking. So she started her ranting again how she wished I would stop those outdoors activities and reminded me I was no longer young. Well it'snt that the point? I mean how many more years do I have? If I don't do the things I loved now, when would I be able to do them right?  She mentioned the reason she transfer her gym membership to me was in the hope I would go to the gym instead of the outdoor .
Now before you start thinking what a lucky broke I am to have such a nice wife giving me a gym membership. The only reason she did that  was she could no longer continue due to her health problem.  Standing too long cause her pain in her legs and the work out does not help.  But here I like to qualify myself , I am indeed moved by her "sacrifice". So for the sake of peace in the house I am compelled to give up one of my love.  Well at least I can still workout at the gym and of course occasionally I will still do some rock climbing. I hope she won't ask me to give that up as well.
So adios mountains , don't missed me too much, I will try not to miss you.

    I did introduced her to a very easy and simple hike few years ago. she had trouble climbing back then and I had to shoulder her the whole hike.

    1. Welcome Back Hayley,
      It's good to have you visit my blog again. I hope I can do other stuff, but for how long I don't know, because the voice of the wild and nature is too strong to ignore. Wish me luck.

  4. Johnnie, your wife is so caring to you. You are blessed indeed. You can be active in the gym, no problem. Hiking can also, but not too hectic one, ok?
