Don't look back in anger

The sweat was dripping, the feet were slipping, it was just too steep and too dangerous. Not finishing the planned hiking tour still felt like a big defeat even when it was the sensible thing to do. It did feel like a wasted day. We spent the rest of the day swimming in the lake and lying in the sun like so many others on a day with temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius BUT lying on a patch of grass in the mountains with nobody else around would have been so much more what I wanted.

I know, there will be another day, but I needed something to look back to during next weeks stressful work days. Whatever, still gives me a Saturday that left me with the most beautiful memories, basically enough for weeks to come.
