New blog post from Joint Journeys, life with arthritis by Carrie: Grounded

 

In her latest blog post, Carrie shares updates from the technical terrains of the Appalachian Trail. As she hikes the trail, she becomes hyper focused on the rocks, roots, holes, and streams to prevent herself from getting an injury. The further she hiked, the more she got lost in the magic of the moment and time becomes non-existent. Carrie credits her loved ones for keeping her grounded. She extends a heartfelt thank you to all who came to her farewell party before embarking on her year-long adventure.

“To all of you who came. To all of you who sent well wishes and to all of you who gave us undeserving generous gifts. You have given us more than your already beautiful friendships; you've given us such a sense of belonging and of value and knowing who we are and that we are loved. Grounded deep in your friendships, your care and concern, we take each step, we manage each climb, and we are propelled forward on our journey.” - Carrie
