[pct-l] Holiday Cheers....



We probably can't change the world or others, at least not very much. 
But we can change how we act and react in the world. Each of us decides 
how much we participate in the various christmas activities. None of us 
*has* to send cards, buy gifts, attend parties, etc.And whatever choice 
we make comes with costs and benefits. So does hiking the PCT or any 
other trail.

Currently it is raining outside. I can't change that but I can change 
how I act / react because of the rain.

time for someone to post the "serenity prayer".
