Most days I walk
in the desert behind my house. And for most of those days, Gene goes
with me, always encouraging me to keep on going. Many days I don't feel like
it, especially in the summer heat of Arizona. He reminds me that I don't really
want to start all over with DAY 1, especially after walking every day
consecutively for almost 3 years!
To
me my walks have become common place, I don't usually feel like I am
doing anything special...until I get another e-mail saying something
like, "Thank you, thank you for helping me to ‘keep
on keeping on’." (from Bill Fleming)
"How far do you
walk?" is a question I am most often asked. My reply is always 10
minutes to 10 miles. My walks aren't about how far I go, but about taking time
for me each day, even if it is only for 10 minutes. I know 10
minutes doesn't seem like much, but I have covered a lot of ground...(take a
look below)
In the past 1000
days I have walked in Australia, Galapagos Islands (twice), highlands
of Ecuador, Machu Picchu (three times), Grand Canyon (4 times), Costa Rica, Mexico (3 times and safely I
might add), South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Boston, New York, California,
Colorado and many airports around the world.
Where shall I go in my
next 1000 days? I don't know yet. Those paths have yet
to be discovered. But I will always have a standing invitation to you...
Come Walk With Me!
