Scars and Goals

How often does one think about a scar? I guess it depends on it's origin...

On Sunday while I was putting my climbing shoes for a bit of bouldering I paused for a moment when I looked at my shins. There were scars, lots of them. None of them anything major, although the scar from the pine branch impaling ordeal is still not 100% healed. And that was the only one that I saw a doctor for. They got me thinking about climbs and trips of the last years. Good memories, even the times spent bitching about the weather in a pub.

They also got me thinking about future climbs. Sane or not... they have been on my mind.
