This quote, attributed to Laozi, feels appropriate for this journal. After a series of big, difficult life changes this year, this feels less like survival and more like moving forward. One single step, but one in the right direction.

The idea is simple. I am working toward a hiking trip next October after a very sedentary few years so I want a way to track my progress and hold myself accountable. At the same time I am working on a class that will give me more skills to help make my future feel like more of a future that I can look forward to. This promises to be a very busy few months but if I do this right, keep my focus without overwhelming myself, It will be worth it.
