Day 1
It's Difficult to descibe the feelings brought about by such a monumental undertaking. Fear tends to consume a great deal of consciousness. For me, I have to deal heavily with the fear of failure. From all the way down here in Geaorgia, Maine seems almost like a thing of fairytale. I walked 8 miles today on the approach trail up Springer, and still 2,183 remain. What it really boils down to is patience, lots of it. Patience in dealing with the aches and pains that the mountains bring, patience in the midst of days of rain and cold, and patience in the face of lonliness and an ever distant goal. This all seems pretty dramatic, but the first night of such a drastic change in lifestyle leaves the mind occupied with overwhelming thoughts.
However, the potential this trip has for the good is endless, and i expect the changes i experience as a result will be beautiful. God has guided me towards this opportunity, and He will give me the strength and will necessary to follow through with it.
