If the groundhog sees his shadow today, six more weeks of planning!
I took an unplanned, but I think much needed, zero day yesterday. I did not even gaze upon yon treadmill, though I did think of it. It is 4 am now, and I will go back to sleep shortly – the wind and snow are really whipping around out there.
Items crossed off the massive to-do list:
- Bought pack cover
- Bought titanium cookset kit
Past thru-hikers say that no one ever comes back the same person they were when they started. I can’t wait to see who God and the trail will make me to be by the end! A better person, I hope. I can’t hope for the kind of transformation the lead guy went through in “Groundhog Day”, but I was never that interested in playing piano or ice sculpturing anyway. š I bet I’ll be a whiz at packing a backpack though!
Deep thoughts from a sleepy 4’am’er. Just listen to that wind!
G’night!
