I AM NOT OLD JUST A RECYCLED TEENAGER
Nie som starý , iba recyklovaný mladík.
Do you feel being redundant? Are you ready to face new challenges in your life?
Máte pocit , že ste "nadbytočný"? Ste ochotný prijímať nové životné výzvy?

STAREC A HORY.
Som milovníkom lesov a hôr, ako 13 ročného mňa otec uviedol do Vysokých Tatier. Odvtedy som sa venoval s menšími prestávkami turistike a vysokohorskej turistike.
Medzi časom neuveriteľne rýchlo roky ubiehali.Ani som sa nenazdal a prekročil som šestedesiatku, ktoré mi priniesli aj komplikaácie s bedernými klbmi,ktoré bolo treba vymeniť.V duchu som sa rozlúčil a dal zbohom mojim obľúbeným horám, rozľahlým lúkam a horským kvetom.
Po dvoch rokoch a dlhom uvažovaní som as rozhodol pre rozlúčkovú túru do mojej obľúbenej Bielohorskej doliny.Po niekoľko málo kilometroch som sa posadil na brehu Bieleho potoka a uvažoval som sa vrátiť. Mal som dojem,že došli mi sily. Vtedy som zbadal,že z horskej zákruty sa blíži dvojica divných postavičiek so snehobielymi vlasmi.Bol to manželský pár,ktorých súčet rokov presahoval 160 rokov.
Oslovili ma s krásnym úsmevom na tvári/ľudia v horách sa vždy zvítajú aj keď nikdy pred tým sa nevideli/.
„Aj Vy ste sa vybrali do Bielovodskej doliny? Je tam krásne ,boli sme tam už niekoľko krát a stále sa tam radi vraciame.Nevieme sa toho krásneho pohľadu nasýtiť.“
Ako som sa mohol priznať , že sa práve chystám to všetko „zbalit“ a vrátiť sa naspať.
Po krátkom rozhovore požiadal som o ich súhlas , aby som ich mohol odfotiť .Pani reagovala typicky žensky.
„Rýchlo podaj mi moje zrkadlo,musi to byt v tvojom batohu. Musím si skontrolovať svoj účes,“ obrátila sa na svojho manžela.
Chvíľu sme sa rozprávali a ich vyjadrovanie bolo dokonale čisté.
Keď sme sa rozlúčili,zamyslel som sa nad sebou. Zahanbene som pokračoval na ceste do doliny.Od tejto udalosti uplynulo viac ako 10 rokov. Manželský pár sa stal mojom vzorom a prešlapal som ešte niekoľo stovák kilometrov po našich horách.Vzdialenosti sa síce skracovali aj nadmorské výšky ubúdali,ale šlapal som ďalej a šlapem do dnes po turistických hodníkoch.Nič sa nevyrovná krásam hôr a lesov.
Pevne verím,že ešte pár rokov budem v tom pokračovať.

THE OLD MAN AND THE MOUNTAINS.
I have been a devoted admirer of woods and mountains all my life.
When I was 13 years old my father took me for a trip to the High Tatras.I was so impressed by the exceptional beauty of this part of the country and I have always felt the temptation to get back there as often as I could.
Time was just flying and one day I realised that I had already turned sixty.This was the time when I had to face serious health problems.I felt terrible pain in my hips which prevented me from taking long walks.I had to have an operation.I thought that was the end of my trips to the mountains. I found it extremly difficult to quit.The thought that I would probably never be able to see my beloved mountains ,flowering meadows,
made me feel very sad.
I was trying to get used to the idea but it was not easy at all.Two years after my operation I got a grip on myself and set out for a „good-bye „ trip to one of my most favourite destinations , to a valley called Bielovodská dolina.After a few kilometers of walking I felt very exhausted.I decided to have a rest not far from a fast running mountain brook called Bielovodský potok .I was deep in my thoughts, thinking about giving up once and for ever.I was just about to turn back when I noticed two tiny figures walking briskly hand in hand on the mountain path.When they got closer I found that it was an elderly couple ,both of them in their eighties.They greeted me with a lovely smile /people in the mountains always greet each other even if they have never met before/ and the charming white haired lady asked:
„Are you going to Bielovodská dolina? It is such a beautiful place,we have been there many times and we just can´t have enough of it.“
I have never felt so ashamed in my life.How could I possibly tell her that I am just thinking about giving it up.After a short conversation when this lovely couple was going to say good bye I asked :
„Would you mind if I took a picture of you?“
„Of course, not,“ said the lady, „but first let me check if my hairstyle is all right“
„Darling, could you pass me the mirror please,she said to her husband,it must be in your rucksack.“
I will hardly ever forget this „story“ in my life. These two people gave me courage and helped me to overcome my „depression“, I am very thankful to them .
Since that time I have been going on taking trips to the mountains ,my legs keep hurting from time to time but I really do not mind because nothing compares to the joys that hillwalking can give you…

Hello Erik,
I am glad to hear that you would like to see Bielovodská dolina. Before you come to Slovakia have a look at the photo. I hope youwill like it.
With best regards
MIŠI
Hello Misi,
I loved your story especially because it gives us courage and hope for overcoming our miseries and egoistic behaviour. Still, I hope that these "companions" showed you the way to get rid of your hip pain, because I know for sur that there ar ways to heal tour hip. My mother in her late sixties has surgery and could run like a young one afterwards.
I truly believe that you have seen the Bielovodská dolina very often and I hope toi see at leazst some photos of it in December.
with kind reagrds to the whole group in Kosice.
Gundula from Luxemburg
I really loved this story. Thank you, Misi for telling it to the others.
We should never give up even if the pain and ache seems to overwhelm. (Just thinking of my future...)
