“What Have I Done!!”
The last day before I start my Appalachian Trail thru hike!!!
Oh my! Have you ever had that thought? “What have I done?”
All the last minute things to think about before being gone from home for 6 months…
For me it’s been a lot of cleaning the house, shopping for house supplies for my family while I’m gone and the packing and repacking of my backpack.
Probably overthinking things..like I do.
Could not sleep due to the excitement and sadness of missing my family too!
So many thoughts…the “What if’s” can overwhelm you. I can’t believe I start this epic adventure so soon!! It’s something I’ve anticipated for so long and almost thought it wouldn’t happen for whatever reason and now it’s here!! That oh crap moment when you realize that your dream is really gonna happen!! Exciting and scary all at the same time.
What are some things y’all think about or do before you set off on a big hike or trip?
