[at-l] dr Seuss

It has been ABSOLUTELY killing me being at work today and reading this.
O-M-G, and it was 11:00 a.m. too. That's six hours of agony.

Little Hiker, you are in no way a failure. No way at all. The only failures
I know are those that fail to have a passion for life and those that DO NOT
TRY. You tried. You got out there, and you tried. And although you think you
only made it to Neels Gap, I think you made it to the stratosphere. Think
about all that don't make it off the couch. Those are the failures. You
acted on a dream, and you found out that sometimes dreams are hard to come
by. And even though you came off the trail this year, you are already
talking about when you can go back, what adjustments you have to make, what
a different outlook it will require.

You are not a failure at all in any way. You went for what you wanted and
dreamed. That's never a bad deal. Ever. And think what you got out of the
journey.

don't exactly feel like a failure but I do see myself as a pretty big
WUS(spelling?) I did disappoint myself in a large way.  The last 2 lines
above have been resounding in my being almost from the time I arrived home.
Working on logistics to get back on ASAP. And from what I learned in the
short time I was there I will return with a  big attitude change.
