Just over two weeks to got. Doubts arise. Was it the right thing to do? What about my job? What am I going to do when I come home? I deliberately stepped out of cosy security into a great risk. Rent is not going to pay itself. What if I get hurt early on and have to cancel my hike? Fears pop up everywhere. And yet excitement is greater than it ever was before.

I will take each day as it  comes , every  day  I will learn something new
I can do this , it’s a challenge  but  I can do it , Although  it will be a steep learning  curve
I believe I have the knowledge but maybe not the experience , But ill earn that

The closer I get to my actual start date, the more a certain type of restlessness teases me.

Have I got everything, will that shirt be okay or should I swap it for the REI one

Roger your kit is fine you have everything, and if you haven’t you can buy it there

It's a strange agitation about the unknown ahead. The unknown after the trail, well I’ll worry about that in October!!

 

Now that everyone has accepted my decision it is me who's getting worried. So, why am I still determined to pull this through? It's not yet too late to abort the mission, right?
