The opening acts were: Honey Honey & Matt Nathanson. Not too shabby. It was a very enjoyable evening.
Roughly. That is the current state of my mind and body. Sunday night I thought I would have the best sleep ever from being so tired from the wonderful hike. Not so much. I was too tired to fall asleep right away. Around 3:30am I woke up with an idea. I guess it is more like a theory about life:
A few days ago I had a wonderment come to mind. It was the question of which has the stronger feeling/most impact...
Feelings associated with: deepest depression, death of a loved one, feeling you can't go on, hitting rock bottom, sadness, anger, hate... LOWEST LOW
-or-
Feelings associated with: Accomplishment, confidence, happiness, peace, the peak moment of the greatest inspiration and motivation, love... HIGHEST HIGH
So I asked a few people and they all had the same answer which was the first one. That was a bit disturbing as I like to think that the happy parts of life would be more impactfull. In thinking about this and waking up at 3:30am Monday morning I discovered that it is ok.
You may feel the downs of life more, but the ups will take you farther.
I finally got back to sleep and woke up at around 7am. I felt so horrible. I had wind burn, a head ache and tired/sore legs, Didn't go to work, cause it was the night of the concert and Cynthia and I planned on hanging out during the day. I was able to get myself together and truck it down to her house.
After the concert I finally got to bed around 2am, got up at 6:30 and now I am struggling here at work with a sore throat, tired eyes & body, ringing ears, still a little wind burnt and I think that's it. I am going to go against my rules and take a nap at 4:30pm

Satan would like you to think that Lowest Lows have the greatest impact, but light ALWAYS consumes darkness. I have felt the lowest of lows, and sometimes there are shadows that lurk in our lives, but as soon as shine our light in that direction, the darkness disappears. You can see the light in the dark, but it sure is hard to see the dark in the light.
I liked this post. It was very thought-provoking.
I think people associate feelings of happiness and peace as feelings of normalcy, where as the opposite; depression, death, etc., are feelings that are not associated with "normal". We take for granted things that are normal and therefore don't really think about them much. But when something happens that creates a state of chaos, a state of non-normalcy it you will, it has a much larger impact upon us.
