Before I left Wheeling, I mentioned to someone whose words I have come to admire and trust that I was feeling lost. In our talk, the book "The Road Less Traveled" by M. Scott Peck was referenced. I do not generally read self-help books, but when I found a second-hand copy for $3 shortly after our talk, I was compelled to pick it up. Opening the book to chapter one, I was struck by these three opening words: "Life is difficult."
It is funny how three words that seem so discouraging can be so comforting. This first leg of my journey is proving to be a lot more difficult than I had anticipated.
