| Swim #19 |
Lovely day with breakfast trail magic. I had swim #19 at trail magic even though it was only early and I wasn’t really hot. It was not raining but misty. In the afternoon it got really muggy. Got to shelter early, 3:30. Water right on site which is great so no long walk to get water. The walk was mostly on ridge so easy enough. No major rocks yet but I know they are coming.
Couldn’t shake the feeling of loneliness today. I miss my family, my church family, my friends and even my work and workmates. I’m not alone out here but it’s not the same. I have made some really good friends but they have got off trail or I’m walking at a different speed. Also the conversation is a little the same, where are you from, why are you doing the AT etc. I miss the hugs and chat of friends. Yes I do hug here but not everyone!!!
Thought for the day.
You are never alone.
Hebrews 13:5-6
[5] Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” [6] So we can confidently say,
“The Lord is my helper;
I will not fear;
what can man do to me?”
All of us are hiking with you in some way. Don’t hesitate to share your unique personality with hikers who could all use an Irish smile.
