Love and support

The journey already has been many things, but one thing I had hope of getting out of it, something I've not widely shared...I've always been very uncomfortable with asking for and taking help of any kind..I'd always rather do something myself than ask, even to my own detriment...I don't like surprises nor do I like being fussed over...this journey will all but require me to embrace the help and kindness. I still, with all the kindness and support I've had felt unworthy of such fuss, so when I got this photo sent to me today, I'm reminded of all the supporters from the start of this journey's wonderful kick off at the YMCA in Albany Oregon to this map hanging on the wall of my home YMCA in Plainville CT.

I am thrilled, greatful and humbled by all the love and support, surely this will help me as I cross the deserts mountains and plains.
