Well today was the first day of the walk. I found out that I'm not capable of carry a 45 lb. Pack on my back. I might have to resort to a jogging stroller against my wishes. The backpack just isn't worth suffering over and maybe causing health issues
Anyway, I got started a little after nine this morning standing in the Atlantic, gave the wife a kiss and hug, then off I went. I posted some pics.
I had one person notice my shirt and responded later with an e-mail, thank you Chris. One other person On the bridge asked where I was coming from and where I was going, and we talked breifly about depression and anxiety. Everyone else throughout the day. Seemed disinterested in talking. Hindered my spirit a little, but I'M BACK! Thanks for reading today. Check in tomorrow for day two.
Stay positive, don't let your spirit get hindered. Looking forward to day two post and pics.
ReplyDeleteMike, I hope you have a wonderful time walking across America! Please be careful, and if you need any tech support give me a call! Lol
ReplyDeleteMike it's me again Margret! So good to talk to you. You must post that it was 92 degrees and the humidity was 90, so it was a very hot humid day. You planned to walk 22 miles, but decided to be smart and stop at 15.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! I miss the ocean. Keep the faith. You did great, and talking to two people was awesome. That's two people that felt a little of your light! The message my pastor talked about today!
You know the song I never promised you a rose garden. Along with the sunshine there's got to be a little rain!
Love you!
A true inspiration! Looking forward to seeing your journey through your words and pictures.
ReplyDeleteHi Mike, Thought might have some word of how you are doing....hope well, and you are a wonder, walking 15 miles in that heat and humidity, and if like here, is worst we had all summer. Of course it is....I hope you got the stroller, think that is a great idea, you could even have a cooler on it with more water and not have to worry that you have to carry it. keep up the good work and may you meet those golden people...thinking of you.
