In my youth President Kennedy said: " We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win...". What you have done here is un-common, it's amazing and very hard. You have tested your metal and pushed the limits, you have found "you can", a very important thing. Now your life will move on. I am also reminded of a quote from Helen Keller; "It is not required of every man and woman to do or be something great. Most of us have to be content to take small part in the drama of life. Lori, you have certainly proven that you are not "every woman", in fact you are a very special Daughter of God and I get to share a small part of the plan as your Dad. I have no question that there shall be yet great things you accomplish in your mortal sojourn, but the wisdom in Helen's vision* is recognizing the importance of the "small part" we all claim hold to. I think this will always be an inspirational moment for you as it should be. I think also that the greatest achievements you will ever see will be in small, even sacred, some even quietly and all being hardly noticed save it be by you. That baby's breath or heart beat you save, that calming assurance you render someone in need, that thought of doing the right thing only seen and known by you and God. the deep breath you take with a smile in your heart that encourages yourself to carry on, that deeply planted desire to help and serve others in need as witnessed by yourself time again and again. You need not seek the thrill and addiction of dangerous and near impossible challenges that come your way, but should you be just overwhelmed with the desire to go to some Emerald City, just over the Rainbow, well you know the pattern of "How-to", just be sure, be safe and always now remember the value of living at the speed of Walk.

At that point my friend Big Red told me of his friend Sparky's endeavor, and from Sparky's blog I learned of yours. Congratulations! Your tenacity is inspirational. You'll treasure this experience for the rest of your life. One of my Raleigh, NC neighbors was "Flower", Class of 1995 (or 1996?). She's now a married mother of 4 in suburbia (albeit a home-school teacher for her brood, a first-rate vegatable gardner, and a budding chicken farmer), but she still absolutely lights up when the subject of the AT comes up! Thanks for your considerable effort to keep this blog updated. I'm going to miss firing up my PC each morning and looking at the map, your blog, and Sparky's blog to see just exactly "where is lori AT". Best wishes in you future endeavors.<br /><br />FB<br />Raleigh, NCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7037926856368417606.post-4490035621497227502012-09-24T20:32:35.354-07:002012-09-24T20:32:35.354-07:00I have followed your whole journey and I can hones...I have followed your whole journey and I can honestly say I am a little sad to see it end just because I love reading your posts. I can't even imagine doing something like this but I am so glad that I got to share in your journey and get a tiny bit of an amazing experience for myself.
