Eh, it's a passing phase, probably a stomach bug or something. Get some good sleep, eat healthy and don't think about it for a couple weeks. It'll come roaring back when you least expect it.
Or it won't, there are worse fates.
Just love the life you live, no matter what you do.
Peace.

BTW, love the 'Thunderbelly' route name, Sean! ;)

Hey fellow Blue, great thread (thanks for suggesting it) and loved all the discussion. Sounds like you are not mourning, but taking it all in stride.
I read a short interview of Conrad Anker recently, I forget where, and the question was along the lines of, what do you long for. And his answer was, "more quality time in the great outdoors" or something to that effect. I forget if he added "with my family" but as a parent I mentally added that phrase, knowing how much he has to travel for work. The vibe was along the lines of the wise man who said the best climber on any given day is the one out there having the most fun. I have three or four deep passions that stoke the fire in the belly, and so I find myself reeling in and out of universes over pretty big time cycles. Sometimes its the basic things that bring me back around, like the first deep inhalation of rock in spring, or wanting to see sunup or sundown from above the clouds again. I can also relate to lots of folks here who talk about those moments when we look at our children and realize in shock that our time together is so short. That's just the nature of parenthood. Who said wisely that the best climber on any given day is the one out there having the most fun?
Speaking of Proust, I remember being a teenager when I was told that Marcel Duchamp first gave up Europe for Peggy Guggenheim then gave up painting for chess. At that age I was like WTF? Now I get it. There was only one Peggy, and a master can push limits faster and farther in chess than painting will ever allow in a lifetime. Who knows what you'll discover on this leg of the journey?
