As usual, thinking of next year's walk across america.
Two things I am wondering. First, as always, is how long will it take me. I usually tell people about 3-5 years. I try and think of how long that will really be. I have been in the military a little over 5 years. Who was I before then?
I guess that ties in with the other thing. When all is said and done, will I look in the mirror and ask, "Who are you?"
For as much as the military changed me, this journey will change me a hundredfold at least. Will I lament for the person I was who will then be lost? Yet, I say this life of mine, how it exists right now, is worth nothing to me. To lose all that I have right now is no big loss at all. Is that true? Who will I be, years from now, when I finally fall to my knees in the Atlantic Ocean, knowing that my long journey is done?
Will that be a glorious day? Or a day of lament?

Well, I guess it depends on whether or not you remembered to turn off the oven.
