Lady Bug

Trying to describe everything that is going on up until this moment probably is best remembered I just simply looking at the ladybug I mean think about it where do ladybugs come from where did they go how do they get here where they going when they’re crawling around where they going when they’re flying all I can say is that today is so much better than the last six days today I’m sitting on the banks of the Mississippi River I am oh maybe only about five or 10 miles south of Baton Rouge Bridge maybe I’m only owe I don’t know six or seven days before I get going again maybe for five but today the sun is shining today it’s hot like it’s supposed to be in Louisiana it’s muggy like it’s supposed to be in Louisiana and I’m not freezing and I’m inside a large family tent that’s I can stand up and I’m not crouched down in a little pup tent with umbrellas over me and a tarp hanging on for trying to keep warm inside my mommy bag while it’s pouring down rain I’m not throwing up left and right from some water pollution or some bug or virus that I got I’m not laying in a hospital bed I may not have all the gear I started with and I may not have as much weight as I begin with but today I’m actually healthier and in better shape then when I started I know that doesn’t make much sense to some people but you see you have to be here long distance Patiller or a expedition kayaker or solo kayaker to understand where I’m coming from because you said we don’t look back on what but we just survived in order to get where we are today we look forward to how we adapted and I made it this far and how much easier it is now that we’ve streamline our process that we’ve adapted to the circumstances that when it should’ve been the way we planned it turned out to be cold and rainy in ways that we weren’t prepared necessarily for but not unprepared that’s the nature of the great American adventure not that it turned out the way you wanted to but that you pass through it that you get through the thunder and lightning you make it to the rain you survive the cold and then when the rainbow comes out and you’re sitting on the water paddling and everything is just smiling at you you got a wind at your back and you looking down out towards the saltine golf waters you know you know you did it not just because you planned it but because you adapted to all the circumstances that came up on the Mississippi river on the Louisiana loop
