Day 8

It is day 8 and I am already behind by one painting, but hopefully will catch up today. I listened to the latest This American Life Podcast about a young man who decided to make a new start and become a Peace Pilgrim. He decided to give up everything and depend on the kindness of strangers. His idea was based on the life of Mildred Norman Ryder, who walked a pilgrimage of her own for almost 30 years. She said she would "remain a wanderer until mankind has learned the way of peace, walking until given shelter and fasting until given food." In the podcast Daryl Watson speaks about his own pilgrimage that lasted 3 days before he called family and friends. He was on a search to find his purpose in life. 

I am wondering today, how it is possible to make a change in your daily life that becomes a habit. What does it mean to commit to something that you don't even know if you can sustain for a whole year?

These are some questions that I hope to find answers to as this journey begins.
