let's begin!

So this is my last post before I start my big hike, and I just wanted to say thank you for all of the support  and encouragement you guys have given me. I will definitely look back to that on the tough days and use it as strength. Also, thank you to those who have so far donated to Paterson through my fundraiser. I know many people who will be touched through your donations. As of now, I remain confident, but not underestimating. A common question I've gotten from people is whether the trail scares me (meaning the sheer length of it). To not overwhelm myself, I'm just going to take it one day at a time, one step at a time. After  all, my constant mission is to put one foot in front of the other. And in spirit of that, I'll share with you the inspiration for my blog name: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OORsz2d1H7s. Yeah, it's from the movie "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", and yes, I know it's kind of corny. But for the sake of endurance, this will surely be my chant. God bless, and I will check in as soon as I hit my first town!
