I trained for a whole year to climb Mt Rainier, it was so incredibly hard AND we even had to turn around within arm's reach of the summit because we got caught in a horrible storm. I was depressed for weeks after that. What did I do? Ate a lot of good food, and then dove headfirst back into my hobby of whitewater kayaking to find another challenge. Being addicted to challenges brings some ups and downs, but then again there are worse things you could be addicted to. I absolutely love your writing. Keep up the good work!
