Dear Jan --

What Felix said.

Grab the trail life as you would life itself.  What will matter will be the
basic requirements to move forward -- on the trail or anywhere, for that
matter -- food, water, shelter.  But that will be complemented by the sheer
joy of the woods -- plants, animals, sights, sounds, smells...the unmatchable
pleasures of nature.  Allow yourself to be immersed in that life...and the
worries of the present will fade away.

And you must concentrate on the trail life.  For it is only that mental focus
and strength that will bring you to Katahdin.  THAT is the true challenge of
a thru-hike.
