I woke up this morning laughing. I realized that 1 year from today I will wake up in a tent (or shelter) somewhere in north Ga, living the dream I've been thinking about and planning for since high school. I'll be 52 and finally hiking the AT. I'll be hiking alone, but I'm sure there are lots of friends out there I haven't met yet. And some I'll say "Have a nice day" to and move on.
I want all my moms to go ahead and have their babies so I can get out in the woods. I have one mom who is desparately trying to get pregnant before June so that I can attend her birth.
I'm more focused on what will be happening a year from today than I am on what needs to be done today.
I have 2 blackboards painted on the wall in our home. I use the smaller one for lessons for my children and the larger for my packing and 'need to get done' lists.
Can you tell I'm beside myself with excitement?
BTW, when does class of 2011 get our own subforum in Thru hiker classes? There have been several threads started by us already.
