Havasu Falls/driving/Zion life lesson

(One of my favorite pictures. It doesn't even look real. I love it!)

Our original plan after the Grand Canyon was to go and backpack to this beautiful blue waterfall close to the canyon. After hiking up the Canyon, I wasn't feeling super well and hadn't been able to eat very much since. We drove all the way to the trailhead and I was feeling very sick. We decided that a 10 mile backpacking trip was not the best idea for me. We made a new plan and headed towards Zion National Park in Utah. I was thankful that Amy was willing to be so flexible and we made a new plan.

The life lessons learned were two-fold: humility and rest. Humility in the fact that I really could not have done that hike even though I really wanted to. Rest is not necessarily something I am good at. I like to always be doing things and don'tusually know my limits of when to stop. I've decided that it is a good thing that my body told me when I needed to stop because my mind sure didn't. Inside my head, I still could have hiked that trail and would have been fine, but my body knew that there was no way that I would be able to do that. I would have liked to pretend that I was hardcore and could have done it, but I couldn't and I don't need to try and prove myself.
