Day Twenty Seven

Michael,

Congratulations on letting yourself go on a life changing adventure. I can’t imagine how many amazing sites and interesting people you will meet along the way. Not only will you test your self physically on your epic hike, but I am sure you will be challenged mentally and spiritually in ways you never imagined. I once had an old friend tell me that “An unexamined life is not worth living.” I really believe that we must exam who we are and why we do what we do. My challenge to you is to let your mind go to those places and events that have defined your life, both good and bad, and not only think about them, but sit in those places and really let your heart feel all of the joy or all of the sorrow again and then reflect on how it has made you who you are today. You are a good man Mike. I appreciate your friendship and look forward to hearing of your great adventure!

Ben
