Three months isn't really long at all, is it? But still. Somehow I expected this all to fall into place a lot more easily. And sometimes, I'm overwhelmed by the sheer bigness of the task, and just want to forget about it. And then I look out the window, and gain a renewed determination. Even if it never happens, I'm still pleased with the changes that have happened as a result of this dream-chasing. My newly developed capacity for self-control and frugality, and having learned just how little I need in order to be happy are the biggest blessings so far, I think. It's been kind of like a game or a challenge--"This week, let's see if I can get by without buying ANYTHING except gas!" And becoming more fit and better fed? Ok, cool! No, you’re right.

And the part about how your life has changed in ways you never expected because of the goal you have in store...I liked that. It's so true, in so many areas of life.
