So I’m taking a leaf out of John Green’s book for this post. He recently shared this video of this man who was trekking across Antarctica and had left himself caches of food and supplies at certain points through his journey. This traveler, Aleksander Gamme, has lost nearly 40 pounds and can’t remember what he put in these caches, it’s been so long. While looking through the backpack he finds a bag of Cheese Doodles (no idea what they are, but they sound fun) and basically he screams for joy.
After watching this it made me think of the last time that I let out a shout of happiness (which to be honest, being a quiet person by nature, doesn’t happen very often as I usually scream on the inside). Although, I do remember squealing with glee when I skyped with a friend of mine for the first time in three months after we had spent five weeks together in a tent digging trail for the Northwest Youth Corps… When was the last time that you were so happy you had to let out a shout?
The link for the video is right here. Make sure you put subtitles on, it’s much more enjoyable that way.
YES! We should DEFINITELY be screaming for joy more often! (Course it’s easy when you’re the only person around for miles and miles…) When did I do that last? Oh, not so long ago – yesterday?
