Oh dear, what a fiasco at that microtel. I'm sorry about that. You are tired and very weary. I imagine sleep helped. I hope this room is cool and has a nice bed and shower. Try to breathe and get some rest. I can't wait to hear about your new book. ❤ Godspeed my friend.
Dear Kara, I so can understand your frustration. And also the frustration of being simply human, the felt smallness of it all. Thank you for sharing all of this with us, this is reality. ~ I'm having a time like this as well, everyday I seem to be bumping into the walls of my personal limitations as me. When I'm stressed, I seem to be more irritable. And clearly, I don't seem to be able to change it by my own power in that moment. It's very humbling. And at the same time, I find it to be a healthy place (totally not a comfortable one, though). I'm so glad I can go to Him with this emotionally roaring chaos that is me. I know He understands. I'm such a child. As this little child I come to HIM. Solace. ~ I'm curious how you'll like "Unoffendable"! All the very best to you! 🌺
Hugs to you. Thank you for your true honesty with your thru hike experiences. It helps me personally to try and prepare myself for my future thru hike.
As a Christian who has also needed to go back and apologize after losing it on people more than once, I understand a lot of what you are struggling with in these situations. Exhaustion and the wearing effects of the heat are definitely contributing to your shorter fuse through this section. I know it's no excuse, but something I try to think about when I'm feeling the anger bubbling up. Asking myself, is it the heat/hunger/tiredness/pain making me feel like this is the worst thing ever or is it really the worst thing? Sometimes just that awareness can help me slow down my reactions. But not always. And then I go apologize and thank God for his grace when I'm so weak. I hope you were able to get some respite from the heat. It's really been wiping people out on trail through PA right now. I know you are probably in NJ by now, so maybe it's been a bit cooler off the rocks. Saying an extra prayer for you today!
So sorry you are having a bad few days, but this too shall pass, just try to relax! Yep these young people think they gonna be young forever, they will learn. I am sure hiking for miles every day will affect you in every way, physically, emotionally, etc. You have to be a special person to put yourself out there, and on CZcams. You are doing great….take a deep breath, count to 10, and keep going north, you are going to make it this time! 😊
I’m sorry to hear how unpleasant your recent days have been. You are human so vent when you need to. Days will get better. Stay well and I hope your body feels better from your fall.
The hardest person we will ever live with is ourselves. We are the membrane that contentment flows through. When you are unhappy inside, look for the happiness around you, and when you are happy, share it with others. It's all about maintaining equilibrium.
The morning report, i think it's especially tough to work with 20somethings. Your right, many make me feel invisible. I started noticing that when i turned 50. I wish i could find an "old soul" like i was. I always get along with those more senior than me. Thank goodness for family. I get a tremendous sense of value from my adult children and in laws and siblings.
Poor service. They'll know full well that room has issues. And if the laundry noise is a known issue, but is usually done by normal check-in they should have straight up told you that would be the case, or denied early check-in.
Ha ha, sounds like my kids when I talk to them. Youth is wasted on the young. Yea, falling is part of the journey. Just make them small and non debilitating as you did. Enjoy the hike and feel the peace of nature. As a thru hiker, Your an elite athlete and can realize all your goals.
Rebound, the lack of respect and consideration is an age old problem between the older and younger generations that will never go away. As far as the room, I know it's disappointing, and often places don't meet our standards of comfort and cleanliness. I'm glad you went to apologize to the front desk clerk after being upset. I know you were looking forward to a nice, relaxing, air-conditioned stay while you were out there sweating on the trail, and once you get to the room, it's not what you expected, it's frustrating, then you add the financial component, it's enough to really test you. It just seems that standards in customer service have really dropped in recent years, don't be so hard on yourself, try to stay positive, God bless.
That was a bad fall BUT I'm so glad nothing from it is cause to stop your hike. I did see that woman who got injured after getting off trail😔. Lightening the load with that video idea sounds good for you. I'm glad for that. My husband was going SOBO through PA last summer and had to get off trail at the 501 shelter (your previous video). I am enjoying seeing the part of the trail again that he hiked but through your lens. Oh my! That Hamburg experience was even harder for you than ... You're human who God loves dearly as one of His own. He knows your heart and His mercy and grace are abundant beyond our imagination can fathom. I personally am thankful for that every day Rebound. When we are weak, He is strong! I am currently reading Blessed Are the Misfits. Glad that you shared about it.
I am feeling the same way with younger people. I feel almost invisible. Those people are missing out on experience and wisdom. Wish I could come hang with you on the trail or bring you trail magic. You are OK.
I think we really need to reach out to them. Some of them have really warmed up to me when I talk to them as a peer. It's easier to do out here on the trail since we're all in the same boat.
@@ReboundontheAT I have been on vacation and then doctoring for my husband. Hope to be home Saturday. Spirit and I plan on hiking some of the Ice Age Trail in August. Keep your chin up. I won’t leave you!
Customer service is not like it use to be, 30/40 years ago. That can be very disappointing imo. With not being able to escape the heat... very frustrating and miserable. Hang in there, praying for some brighter days in the near future that include nice cool breezes. Take care ✌

Thinking of you. God bless. ♥
God teaches us how to be un-offended in His word. Praying for you Rebound. We are all having the human experience in this broken world.
Rebound, wishing you a good day today. Hopefully the heatwave has passed. Hike on!😊

Very eloquently said. 😊
I agree with Minnesota Girl. You pretty much hit the nail on the head. I feel the same way. Prayers for you, Claudia. ❤️
I am not too shy about asking to have my room switched. I always ask for a quiet room. You are paying for it.
Hugs to you. Thank you for your true honesty with your thru hike experiences. It helps me personally to try and prepare myself for my future thru hike.
Oohh!! Onecent, will you be documenting via CZcams? Please keep us posted and Godspeed on your journey. ❤😊❤
I'm new to backpacking and haven't learned yet about videos. I really enjoy watching everyone's.
@onecent363 how exciting! One hobby at a time. 😊 Hike on! ❤
If I can help someone prepare for their thru hike, it makes me happy ! Glad you are finding something of value here. ❤️
Sounds so tough. I hope things get better for you. You’re doing amazing from my eyes. 👍🏽
Thank you so much!

Another hiker thought he was having a heart attack on trail, it was just the heat he found out. Glad he is ok! Stay safe. ♥
That was Ramdino
@@user-lj5kw3hv6x Yep, so scary. Glad he is ok. ☺
Oh, wow! 😲

Good marriage advice regarding hiking.
Amazingly, I've seen quite a few married couples out here, and they seem to be doing great.
