Trust the Trek
At the start of September I got to hike a (very small) portion of the Appalachian Trail in Damascus, VA. It was a pretty hot and humid day so it wasn’t the most comfortable hike, but it was still beautiful!
To me, it always seems the first time you start down a path, time passes ever so slowly.
As I moved along, I got to thinking about why I was doing this hike while it was so hot in the first place. I also wondered if I should have looked at a map a bit better to know where I was going.
The trees and the birds told me WHY I was there because the rustle of the leaves and chatter of the forest is always calming to me. Furthermore, I didn’t need to pull out the map because the trail was clear and there wasn’t really anywhere else I could go but forward or back!
There are times in life when we need to trust the journey and take the time to just keep moving forward - and try not to look at the clock so much! There are wonderful things to see and hear along the way. While it seems a little uncomfortable at times, it is definitely worth the trek.
Maybe that resonates with you. Wherever you are right now, it is probably where you need to be!
I share this because I don’t always know where I am on the trail or how far I have traveled. I certainly don’t always know how long it is going to take me to get to where I want to be.
The same with life.
And here we are in September of 2024!
I am where I need to be and I am looking forward to what lies ahead.
I would love to hear what you look forward to as we move into the latter part of 2024.
