1 Day to Go

Here i am at home being melancholy. With just a day to go before i leave i find myself thinking of the friends ill be leaving behind and the hometown i may not see again for years. And of course i worry. Worrying doesnt help anything but i still find i do it. I know tomorrow when i ride off im going to have to look forward and not look back . Ill have to leave the past behind and turn my thoughts towards the future. Ill have to once again be strong and think of how things are going to be and not how they were. With my journey riding a bike ill be able to look forward to seeing whats just around the next corner.

This will be the ultimate journey of all the adventures ive taken. I wont be on a bus or a plane going anywhere. I will have to use physical and mental strength instead of buying and paying for what i need. There wont be a hotel room to return to every night but instead a camp to set up and a sleeping bag to lay my body on. And at the end of this journey i wont be getting on that plane to return home but starting a whole new life. This is the first leg of my new life and another adventure.

I have prepared myself and my bike as much as i can now its in gods hands. All i can do is pray and hope everything works out. Like i always say i will be traveling with god. So im putting my life into his hands and praying for the best. And today i wait for tomorrow and i do the last minute things that need doing. As im out and about today ill be looking around and taking pictures in my head to sustain me on those days when i become homesick.

The count down is over for we're to the final day............Next time i write it will be from the road.
