"But what," badgers a relentless voice, "exactly are you doing out here? What are you accomplishing? What are you getting out of it? And what, oh especially what are you going to do with your life?"

The voice usually stops me. Knocks me down, kicks sand in my face. But this time, finally, I tell the voice to shut up. It's a stupid question, what are you going to do with your life. Setting out to do something with your life is like sitting down to eat a moose. Nobody ever did anything succussfully with their life. Instead they did something with their day. Each day.

Sunrise is birth. Sleep is death. Each day is your life.

Let the moose run. Eat some blueberries.

Quick update

Hello friends and fam!
We've had a really nice time here in Mongolia with a big thanks to Anne (Kyle's cousin once removed, yeah we figured it out finally) and Sam for letting us stay with them and being so hospitable and kind.
After waiting in a stagnant line for almost an hour the ticket booth sudenly was thrown into activation mode and people almost step over eachother to get their tickets. We got one! so we will be heading to Beijing early tomorrow morning and arriving the day after that. Unfortunately we couldn't make our way south first on the local train and see the Gobi because the local trains are still closed. Can't win them all.

The Plan:
Beijing tomorrow.
Stay there for a few days maybe a week
Then south along the east coast until we get to Guangzhou (sorry about my spelling there)

Lots of love,
Kelly
