July has been a month that is marked in my memory as bad.

I lost my father 5 years ago this month, then 2 years ago I was confronted about by my ex that she was seeing someone else. Last year the bad memories still were heavy and July felt depressing.

This year it feels lighter. I have scheduled two trips this month. The first actually this weekend to Yosemite to conquer half dome. Going by myself but backpacking with a group. Later in the month is a family trip to visit relatives.

Not purposely but I know these trips will create new memories that overshadow the bad ones.

Keep pressing on Dads, the weight gets lighter but you have to keep pressing on.
