{TREE CLIMBING!!!}<br />

BORED OF BEING AN ADULT?<br />

The first house I lived in had a beautiful<br />

sugar maple in the front yard. When I was<br />

about four years old with a little help and<br />

guidance from my dad, I climbed it for the<br />

first time. Though I only made it to standing<br />

on the second limb up, I felt like I was on<br />

top of the world. My parents still have the<br />

pictures taken that day, in one shot; a look<br />

of fear and uncertainty, in the next photo<br />

a look of overwhelming joy and ecstasy.<br />

I am sure many of you reading this have<br />

a similar story and many more thereafter<br />

of the happiness found as a child playing<br />

in trees. Adults are boring. I said it. It<br />

needed to be said; where is the sense of<br />

adventure, of wonder, of exploration that<br />

so dominated your existence as a child?<br />

It isn’t gone entirely. I promise it is just<br />

dormant. After all, adulthood is boring<br />

for a reason. We have bills to pay, mouths<br />

to feed, responsibilities, there is no room<br />

for fun. I want to change that. I want to<br />

encourage you to live boldly again and<br />

regain the freedom you had as a child. I<br />

want to do that through one of my favorites<br />

modalities of training, tree climbing.<br />
