ROUGHING IT!

AudioOsda Sunalei [Good Morning in Cherokee]

Read yesterday's Daily Message titled, How Was My Trip?

I still have bruises up and down the side of my thighs and torso from sleeping in that tent! When it comes to camping, you could easily classify me under the header, "Roughing It". I could throw a sleeping bag down on the ground anywhere and get a Good night's sleep. I don't use bagged charcoal and prefer to cook over an open flame and create my own charcoals. And lighter fluid? That's for rookies! As long as I have my camp knife, my boots, a canteen of water and a match, I'm unstoppable.

The first night my grandson "Big Tree" (5, Taurus) and I were camping last week, we goofed around until we ended up having to put the tent up after dark. Even though I always rent a cabin for us so that we have a secure place to store all of our gear, we still sleep in a small tent and "rough it" as much as possible. Big Tree and I are huge fans of Bear Grylls of Discovery Channel's Man vs. Wild, and we like to learn new survival tips and act like we're out in the wildness living off the fat of the land, a whole lot of nerve and God's Grace. We also like to pay attention to our own survival instincts and refer to everything as our "source" . . . water source, food source, fire source, etc.

That first night I tossed and turned all night. We set the tent up as usual, lined the inside floor with the heavy duty canvas tarp, prepared the sleeping bags, put a flashlight on his side and a flashlight on my side and we were Good to go. The only problem was the ground around the entire cabin area was rocky even though there was plenty of grass. Talk about roughing it. I couldn't get comfortable to save myself. The next day, the first thing we did was go out to buy an air mattress. I couldn't believe that I was going to break down and buy an air mattress but my sides were beat to a pulp. Interestingly enough, Big Tree said he was comfortable and slept like a rock. (no pun intended) I didn't bring extra blankets to line the floor of the tent simply because the sleeping bags always did the trick.

The next morning I woke up to my usual Big Tree morning greeting, which is him honking my nose and pulling on my lips. He's an early bird (like myself) only earlier and enjoys giving his granny a hard time at the break of dawn. As we laid there on the air mattress stretching and growing I said to Big Tree, "Wow, this is comfortable! Aren't you glad we bought this air mattress?" Big Tree said, "I slept fine the way we were. You bought the air mattress for yourself."

"Now get out there, go place yourself UP!
and practice being you."
