Don't think I'll ever fly but I always wanted to take a train trip, maybe down to Portland, one day.  Don't think trains have classes but a nice reclining seat where I can watch the view and maybe doze off sounds relaxing.   

I’m so petrified of heights I quit skiing to avoid chairlifts but flying is ok if you take a THC cap and a couple double shots of whatever.

Ha, that'll probably make it worse for me.  Panic attack city.  I think the A-Team had the right idea with B.A. Baracus, just knock me out with sedatives lol.

The train is nice. They offer Business class.   I've taken the bus and the train to Vancouver and back, and down to Portland. 

 

Did you do the Grouse Grind?  I've been thinking about the Grouse Grind.  I have not seen the smoke in a few days, so it is starting to clear up.  So I may either fly or take the bus or train up to Vancouver.  I really want to take a float plane up to Vancouver, and the fare is on sale, but they don't fly up to Vancouver on the weekends.  They land in Coal Harbour, so it would be easy to take the Sea bus and then the bus.  I may see how much the airfare is from SeaTac to YVR, or take the train or bus.  It is on my mind.

I tend to dismiss/diminish other people's problems because I know mine are more serious.

 

Frankly, the dumb $&!# people complain about really peeves me.

Many people spend to their income level in that if they get a raise they don’t save any more money. 

 

These same people may have first world problems that they think are mountains when they are in the big picture just molehills.

 

Thankfully we have this place where we can come and lose ourselves for a bit of time.

i'm the opposite. when i'm in pain and sadness, i see how my problems are small compared to others. 

when i was in the hospital, years ago and it was touch and go as to if i'ld make it or not, there was a fellow there that knew his life was ending. 

when i'm hungry, i think of the millions of people who are starving to death. 

whatever happens to me, i know others have had it worse.

having had rheumatoid arthritis since 1999 it never affected me to the point of disability ,until I had 3 complicated colon surgeries the second saving my life ,the reattachment of my colon/large intestine broke open and i was going septic ,so 3 surgeries over an 8 month span is when my arthritis kicked into high gear , having said all this my history is one of a very athletic upbringing and a very physical working career as a driver/labourer, tough as nails so to speak. so I never dwelled  much on other peoples inabilities at 58 years ,still young enough and actually still in good enough shape to still work but not allowed for health reasons , I have become highly aware of other peoples setbacks , problems ,since going 100 miles an hour my whole life an not slowing down to pay attention to anything else, i'm going to say to you, NEVER underestimate another person's 

 ailments ,or compare yours to theirs. and yes I understand you have some kind of thought process problem of which I cant possibly judge you or even understand it , I can respect what you say about it, and thats all I have , so I have to believe you , but far be it from me to compare our set backs , since I just explained to you , mine.  all you have is what I described ,and you have to take my word for ………...or not , either way nothing has to be said ….believe it or not. literally .

I kind of regret my actions and choices the last few years of my life, and every new day just making me feel worse.

 

I wish I was nicer to my parents and siblings. Also have no idea bout my future. Plus, I get anxiety and stress over such little things, I don't know why..

Sounds like you need some quality time with mother nature.

 

I was dealing with some $&!# in my teens and early 20's. I starting finding the more time I spent away from people, in nature, the more clarity and comfort I found in my "real" life.

 

Introspective journeys, soul searching, solo mushroom trips in the middle of nowhere, alone, helped me find my center. To be more grounded, less needy, less greedy, more grateful and more pleased.

 

Figuring out what I actually wanted and needed out of life was huge for me. I still need my bush retreats though. Everything is so &^@#ing beautiful and simple when all you gotta do is make sure you eat and stay warm.

 

That said, go buy your mom some flowers.
