I'm glad that nobody knows the real risk of heading to the hills, riding you bike to work, etc.. Because, for lifers, quitting isn't much of an option either.
The older I get the more I appreciate the days where nothing goes wrong and as Marc said "the magic is real". There is a lot can can and will go wrong in this world, so all of the day to day blessings (health, family, friends, adventures, etc.) I find my self more and more thankful for.....
