You know this blog is a lot harder than I thought. It's not that there isn't something to say,.....the difficulty for me is sorting my thoughts out. They flood into my head and often put me on an emotionl roller coaster of sorts. It's hard sometimes for me to keep my feelings as Jed's mom at bay. I was reading one of his posts recently...I'd like to copy it here...
" I guess I write this to explain some thoughts I have about this. Why? is the question that people ask when someone is doing things of this nature. It's an opportunity to put yourself in a position where everyday is unlike all the rest in your life. Everyday is an opportunity to succeed when most would fail. I get
to see America for all the good and bad that it is. I think everyone needs to have at least one great adventure in their lives that they can look back on when they're old, and say I did something remarkable. Others have done this before me and others will do this after me, but this is my chance to have something to look back on someday when I'm old to some kids...'you know when I was 31, I ran across the country.' I've had a few rough days where I laid down at night so mentally and physically spent I cried.. and got up and went again. I'm not a supreme athlete and yet I would put myself against anyone trying something like this. My body is constantly sore from use and abuse, but it's not my body that gets me anywhere here. It's the will and heart that drives it. I have chosen this dream and will see it through to the end and someday after this I will dream again....."
I could say nothing that would have any importance after that.
