I planned and led a biking and camping trip in this weekend for about a dozen friends. We biked about fifty miles through Amish country, looking at leaves, rivers, and farms (and the Amish!), then camped out in darling little cabins. It was cheap, fun, and a great time outdoors.

Keeping my perspective, I never thought I could do something like that, and I know I never would have even tried before my divorce. For all the negatives, there are real positives too. I'm changing and growing, getting braver.
