Theresa and I traveled to Woodland WA today where we met up with her sister Susan and checked into our hotel which we will be calling our "home base" the next couple days. The forecast is calling for rain showers but that's no biggie. Rain doesn't hurt.
Before leaving Portland today we swung by REI and picked up our gear and met with Lynn Lippert for coffee - she's the awesome "superwoman" I met last year on Mt. Hood. At 69 years old, this woman is a breast cancer survivor who is also battling bone cancer but is STILL CLIMBING! She talked about climbing St. Helens a couple weeks ago and the beautiful view from the top. She reminded me that I need to "put my big girl pants on" and kick the mountain's butt. She reminded me that positive attitude is stronger than physical endurance and that I WILL be celebrating from the top of St. Helens this Sunday! Just one step at a time is all it takes.
Well there you have it. Doubt doesn't get you anywhere. Positive attitude gets you everywhere - even to the top of mountains!
I am really looking forward to this weekend. And I can't wait to see the view from the top. Hope you'll follow along and check out the view with me right here...
