A Walk with a Surprise

I had a 12-miler planned for this morning, with my pack at around 28 pounds.  It's getting boring walking in my neighborhood, so I took advantage of Pandora on my phone and listened to some music along the way.  I was just cranking out the miles not realizing I was in for a surprise at about mile 6.  A friend drove by and saw me.  He pulled his car over, got out, and walked with me for about a mile.  I mean really, how many people would do this?!?!  Best mile of the day...and not just because he carried my pack for me ;)  This guy is so thoughtful and happy that it lifts your spirits just being around him.  I'm serious--you cannot be unhappy around this guy.  He's on a journey to improve his health and is well on his way to a 100-lb weight loss.  Talk about inspiration!

Time is moving quickly now.  I leave for California THIS MONTH!  That is not an April Fools' joke!  With a to-do list a mile long, quite a few things on my schedule, and a visit from my daughter and son-in-law this weekend, there is no time to waste.

Apparently my mind is keenly aware of this lack of time because it doesn't want to let me sleep too much.  At night I'm concerned about leaving and wondering what in the world I've gotten myself into.  Early in the morning I'm stressing about every little detail on my to do list...and usually coming up with more to add.

I think I need a nap...
