But her husband knew her better than she was feeling. His encouragement was to push and think of only the little accomplishments as she rolled onward. She became the fastest person to hike the AT. We have our goals, but we don't know everything. You're halfway, strong and very enthusiastic. Even though the donations seem less than expectation, you don't know what is around the bend. This is a big cause, and a tremendous step of will and love. You may look on your blog one day and see an amazing leap in donations, or an amazing leap may not come till you hit the Bridge of the gods. You don't know, but you know your commitment and your boosters. I hope you take some well deserved down time, not just a zero day or two, regroup and continue. You are very articulate, and write from the heart. You hike from your soul. Me too, wishing you a renewal of spirit and joy!Gary Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092279234352338281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799792996451638340.post-49850006906167423232014-06-23T12:34:39.199-07:002014-06-23T12:34:39.199-07:00I would encourage you to give it another week.

I remember thinking, "Why should I keep being miserable when I could be with my husband for Christmas." But I didn't quit and I am so glad I didn't. They call Mountaineering, Type 2 fun, it's not fun while you are doing it, but fun to talk about after. There are so few opportunities in your life to do something of this magnitude. I encourage you to set a date, perhaps 1 week again, and turn back then if you still feel this way. But just know that everyone feels a wall, especially those with MS too. Wishing you a renewal of spirit and joy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18359385416590232417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799792996451638340.post-18128445072295680522014-06-22T16:06:34.256-07:002014-06-22T16:06:34.256-07:00Don't give up.
