We climbed Mt Cooroora recently. Incredible views made the climb worthwhile. Our son (aged 12) was like a mountain goat and made us feel useless. He kept running ahead, and back tracking – he must have travelled twice the distance we did. At the end we were exhausted… and he could have gone again! Inspiring.

Lin – What a beautiful comment and how true – even the nagging and the gnats keep you in the moment. Amazing there’s a Pomona in CA too. It sounds Spanish which explains the CA naming but not the town in Australia!

I thoroughly enjoyed the post, as I’ve also love mountains, and also the photos of Pomona and Mt. Cooroora. We’ve a Pomona here in California, and for a brief moment thought you were referring to our town.

The joy in climbing for me is the opportunity to stay present to everything – the wind, sun, nagging children, and nagging gnats alike. It’s a time to feel totally alive. My husband taught me this lesson, which he shared from his patients, and also towards the end of his life. Each breath is a mini-summit and a celebration of life. What a fabulous family you have!

Sarah – thanks for making sure I wrote that one up. It almost fell by the wayside until you mentioned your dream of living in Pomona. The wonderul photo at the top was taken from somebody’s house so maybe you will have that view one day. It’s very special. Enjoy your time in Japan – it must be a fabulous experience and always good to be able to show visitors around:)

Haha! I didn’t notice the typo until you pointed it out. Mmm, a nice walk through some chocolate mousse would certainly motivate the kids:)

I love this post Annabel! And it is extra inspiring for me as our plan is to move to Pomona when we leave Japan – in fact I’m hoping we’ll find a place where we can see the mountain. This post was also a timely reminder not to focus only on our goal of moving back to Australia but also to enjoy life in Japan while we are here. It sounds stupid but sometimes I forget how cool it is to be living here! We have friends visiting soon so this is great timing to get out and about and enjoy this crazy place.
