A Jordan Excursion – Yes, It’s Jordan – Petra

Exploring Petra from the ‘top’ was supposed to be a ‘quick’ hike.  Well, after 4 hours and 8.5 miles later, I can say, the hike was ‘quickly’ completed, capturing beautiful landscapes and scenes along the way.

2020…A Year in Review

2020 – The year of clear vision.  There will be a separation, be prepared to stand firm in what you believe in.  Stand firm in power, love, and a sound mind, not in fear!  Give love always and choose to be happy.

A few words to live by, as provided by my mom:

-Everything in life is not going to go your way.  Do not expect that it will.

-No one owes you anything.  No one has to be kind to you.

-Everyone is not going to like you.  That is okay.  You are responsible for how you treat other people.  You are not responsible for how other people treat you.  You are, though, responsible for how you react to how others treat you.

-Cry as often as you like; however, do not have pity parties.  Do not stay in a depressed state long.  Pick yourself up by your bootstraps, and keep it moving.

-Sometimes you have to encourage yourself.  Do so and often.

While in Jordan, I discovered and enjoyed the following places in 2020:  Ajloun, Dead Sea, Jerash, Madaba, Mt. Nebo, and Umm Qais to name a few.  Enjoy the view.

A Jordan Excursion – Yes, It’s Jordan – Wadi Rum

Wadi Rum, AKA the Valley of the Moon, is just the right spot in September.  Dancing in the Desert has never been more fun.

The sandstone and granite rocks look amazing.  Who’s ready to go climbing?

The Rainbow Campground offered amazing views, camel walks, and a sunset scene that one won’t easily forget.
