[at-l] Life...GET OUT THERE AND LIVE!@!@

Trey was an amazing spirit that I met more than once. Including that muddy rain-induced dancing at the campfire. He was nervous about going to Trail Days, and told me that I made him feel welcome when he was there. 

Hot Dog is right. You don't know what kind gesture is going to mean what to someone. 
It's so important.

  Another bit of bad news. A local Greenville SC kid, 22 years old... Shot himself this past week.
  He was at trail days a couple years ago hanging out at the camp ground & dancing at the 
  camp fire, with Dawg, and others. Seemed to be a good, happy, outgoing kid. 
  He used to work at the Outfitter I work at, so my bosses feel like they lost a child. 

  So live your life, keep in touch with your friends & family, have a kind word for everyone you meet.
  You never know what a phone call or a kind word may do to help someone who really needs it.

    I got a call from my Dad today. His best friend in the world (they were college roomies 47 years ago) had a heart attack this morning and died. He was just here this past weekend for a visit, and I can still feel his arms around me and hear his laugh. 

    If there is something you want to do in life, GET OUT THERE AND DO IT. DON'T DELAY. 
    WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? LOVE DEEPLY !@!@ LIVE TO THE FULLEST !@!@ NO REGRETS !@!@
    Don't ever regret the love. It's the most abundant thing there is. And renewable. 

    You are NOT guaranteed tomorrow. You're just not. I want to always remember this myself. 

    This summer, I am going to FINISH the Georgia section of the AT in Tom's memory. 
    He and my Dad hiked it in their 50s'.
