A 50th birthday usually means a big party or maybe a trip to some exotic place to celebrate your day. As the world looks now, it is not possible. For me, as for most, some plans were grumbling, but I still think my day was perfect. If I think about it, maybe it was meant that just me and my family would celebrate it in a way I appreciate spending time.

“To sit there and just be is better than most things.”

I can understand that the situation now, especially for those in different risk groups, is stressful. I don't suffer that much. When I spend time myself, with our dog or the closest family in the woods, on a trip or hike far from people, I'm where I want to be. There is no significant difference now to how it was before.

I was waking up in the tent with the middle son, crawling out as he continues to sleep on to make a cup of coffee. The birds chirping, the bumblebees buzzing, and the sun already drying up the dew of the night. To sit there and just be is better than most things. Something that I enjoy so much every time, and it's so easy to create. Talk about luxury!

I have been using my new tent, sleeping pad, and sleeping bag on three different occasions now. I made a test night in our garden with my dog, one night next to a lake on a hike. And now a couple of nights outside a summer cottage on my birthday. To put up the tent is like magic! So easy, take 5 minutes. I'm pleased with all the new equipment.

Now I have to go back to plan mine and Exors two-day hike starting tomorrow. Take care!
