Congratulations Old Friend

Nearly all of my friends are blog friends.  One of the oldest of those is Geekhiker.  I discovered his blog back in 2007 when I was looking for information on a hike I was about to do.  One comment led to another and we soon became good online friends.

Geekhiker, along with Just A Girl, were the first online friends I actually met in person.  He even stopped by our place on a cross country trip he made.

Two days ago ... not sure how I missed it ... he announced his engagement on Facebook.  I knew the day would come and I know it didn't come as soon as he would have wanted it but the day has arrived and I can only say that I am very happy for him and his fiance.

I will end this congratulatory post with a picture taken by my friend G_V who passed away last year.  The picture was taken on the Camino de Santiago in 2013.  It is good advice then and it is good advice now.

Follow your heart and it will always lead the way if you let it.
