Today was a nice short walk of only 11 miles. I took it slow and easy. Don't remember what time I left this morning, I'm thinking it was between 7:30 and 8:00 am. Most of the walk today had a nice shoulder to walk on. It is getting hilly again, but I was lucky to have half the state a flat level walk.
About 7 miles into my walk I noticed a car at a traffic light was going to turn left ...but turned right and pulled into a parking lot in front of me. He got out and said he wanted to give me a donation for my journey. I thanked him and said God bless you sir..and I could not of said it better..he replied...that's what it is all about...helping each other out. Yes sir you are toally right and I wish everyone could think that way. We seem to be so busy with our own wants that are not really needs...that we overlook others around us. God bless you sir. It was refreshing and a blessing to cross paths with you today. And I appreciate the way you think.
A little while later I came to a convenience store and stopped to use the rest room and got a coffee to drink. A gentleman and his wife were getting some gas and asked about the walk. We talked for a few minutes...his wife handed him some change to give me...thank you...any contribution to the walk is great..no matter if it is big or small. Thank you both very much...and God bless you.
I arrived at the Avant West Motel around noonish. The girl at the desk was real nice and said she appreciated what I was doing. She has had family members that have dealt with mental health issues and suicide. God bless her...my thoughts and prayers are with you!
