Anticipation

Folks, 5 days lie between me and the mountains of Georgia, the origin of my 6-month walk up the Eastern United States. 

I am very emotional--filled mainly with excitement--excitement to try something new, get to know myself better, free myself of worldly possessions, roll and ramble in the hills....
 --and also small anxieties, manifested in occasional nightmares about thunderstorms and hitchiking....

And you know, I will miss home, all of my homes, and all of you, my people, dearly. But mainly, I am poised for this opportunity to love myself and be grateful for my world just a little bit more. 

Stay tuned--tales of backcountry hiking to follow.

PS--I WANT YOU TO COME AND JOIN ME FOR ANY INCREMENT OF TIME! So if you're into it, let me know, and we will hike together for a bit. Anywhere between Georgia and Maine works. Peace!
