    You are AWESOME Sunshine!!!
    I so enjoyed this video. You had me laughing. I love how genuine you are!!! You're the best!!
    Good job Will letting Sunshine know not to be ridiculous to bow out of hiking with Captain. That wasn't the idea from the beginning.
    Glad Captain enjoyed his rest day!!
    All 3 of you...keep up the GREAT WORK!!❤🎉😊

    I celebrate every day as a gift! Good and bad! As bad as a day gets there’s always something to feel good about!
    And look at YOU! Look at what your accomplishment! Making lifetime memories!

    Oh, Sunshine! I could write forever on this!
    1. think of feelings as emotions.
    2. embrace your ability to control your emotions and negative thoughts using your power of choice and habits. (Define habits as things you choose to do frequently.)
    3. when you mind wanders off and you have a negative thought like "I'm not having fun". Change your perspective/frame of reference. You did it by thinking about NOT hiking with Captain. Find your Joy. Watching you guys for years, I know your joy is doing once in a lifetime stuff with Will and the kids.
    4. Make it a habit to start your walk with the habits of embracing your joy, create an attitude of gratitude, living the dash, enjoying each new day, the colors in the sky, the berries, all of the nature around you (as you already do by imagining animals in the shapes of trees.)
    5. Embrace the joy in this moment you are having with Captain. There are no guarantees of another year, another month, another week, or even another moment. Carpe Diem!
    Peace and Love!

    Happiness, joy and fun I believe come from within. When you look for it from others that is giving your power to others. Not that you can’t get those things from others but the expectation of getting from outside sources puts you in a dependency on there. It weakens you . I’m someone who puts a high value on a sense of humor, the ability to laugh at yourself and your circumstances and life in general will add years on your life.
    And I also enjoyed your solo trip today. But also enjoy you and your family ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    I would not like hiking alone, that said you’ve been given the opportunity to experience it. Always enjoy hearing from you and your thoughts.

    Just watching the snow. I know I'm late to the party. Hopefully you haven't run into any snakes hiking by yourself. I look forward everyday to watching you guys. Love you sunshine, love you captain, Nan

    Humor has always been a very important part of my family. Both of my parents were extremely silly, always laughing, my friends loved them. I try to laugh everyday, sometimes you've got to make your own fun. We used to get "looks" from people in store, because we would try on every hat, or turn on every child's toy. We would be laughing so hard sometimes, we'd been crying. Lots of great memories.

    Bear story that I bored all my friends with so its your guys turn. Out for a run in the small town in Carbon county PA I live in, entered a park with a short trail through woods. Heard some cracking noises, a black bear was running alongside on a parallel path. i'm not sure who was more freaked out, my trail took a bend and I realized we were about to meet, I stopped, the bear stopped and we just looked at each other. I backed away, and eventually took off again. Definitely got my heart rate up on that run. And yeah, they're fast. You know, now that I think of it, that was fun.

    I want to do the thru hike because I am no fun at a crowded party but I am when I’m alone or with a small group I’m the one making people laugh. I hate my job but I’m close to retiring, pay is good and I like my co workers. I’m there because I can & do make it fun. I think it’s our job to make our own type of fun. The world owes us nothing. You have to know your needs first. Sunshine- I don’t think on your worst day you could be dull! 😉

    I recently read "Walking to Listen" as well. The author lives not far from me! Interesting book. Experiences are not as rich or meaningful when done by oneself, in my opinion. It is in the sharing that one receives the energy back and without that echo, the experience is just not the same. Sunshine, be confident with yourself. Remember your core values and know in your heart that you are making another awesome memory with Captain. He is precious and this trek will stay with him forever, just like all of your other adventures. Your family is better for it all. Trust yourself in love.

    I love how you talk to us and share. Sometimes it feels like we are chatting on FaceTime or that you are talking right to me◡̈ Also pretty much every vlog I laugh out loud so thanks for that and for the reminder to look for the fun and make some if need be😘

    I have lots of fun with my kids! Taking them to a zoo is fun! Taking them to an amusement park is fun! Taking them to a playground, and stopping for ice cream is fun! So many things that we do together are fun!🙂

    Hello Sunshine! Rick from Va here. Great episode! (1) Happiness discussion. GTG (Good to go). My wife and I are "bringing the happiness" since our children are older. We , in fact, dressed up and went to a deli. Compared to others, we were the best dressed and claimed our prize by ordering some great sandwiches and dessert! :-) (2) Stay on the trail with Captain! As the song by Seals and Crofts goes, "We may never pass this way again." (I love that song!) You say it all the time....."Live the dash!" Do it. Go to the end. I can almost guarantee, you'll never regret it. (3) Bubblegum bubbles.......LOL.....Guess what I going to get today! LOL!!! (4) Woo hoo! Mason-Dixon!! Looks like you had an awesome day! Kudos for adding the Captain cameo at the end!

    I don't think Captain would want to do 40 miles everyday. I'm sure he loves having you on trail with him. Nice view. Safe travels.

    Fun.. yup! When we owned a farm and we had to do really hard labor to fix things are make things better, I tried really hard to make tasks fun!
    I will say , some of our tasks included pouring concrete. I hope I NEVER do that again!

    Can I ask, when did it start and why do you color your hair pink? I Love it! Just curious

    • @WorldTowning
      @WorldTowning  2 місяці тому

      Started 10 years ago when I left the U.S. Also stopped coloring my greys then as well. Thought it would be fun for a bit and I loved it so it stuck.
