Many times there is more to tell you than I either have time for, or I just forget.
I wanted to tell you more about the young couple who is sailing down the Intercoastal Waterway. Susan Lee is from the mid-west (maybe Wisconsin), 26, with a degree in biology. She's seen more of the USA in her 26 years than I have in my 69......the East Coast being her latest adventure. She has a job waiting when she returns home in the Spring, but for now it's sailing south along the Atlantic, and possibly a trip to the Bahamas. She connected with her friend Tyler Martin somewhere (I miss some of the story), and they have sailed down from up North, Tyler is from California originally, and has lived around different places. His boat is a 32 footer. Susan told me he's a good captain.
The other thing I wanted to share is about the "Mick". Anyone who has kept up with this blog knows about Mick from his humor and comments. Mick has been a follower for a while, and sends emails occasionally with info about route, eating places, weather, etc. He recently sent some stuff about walking that I'll share here. I would have never thought to say these things, but certainly agree with them. If Mick will ever send me a picture I'll post on the blog, but I'm not even sure Mick is real, it might just be those Cooley girls trying to confuse me.
Some wisdom from the Mick:
Above all do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday I walk myself into
a state of well being and walk away from every illness. I have walked
myself into my best thoughts and I know of no thought so burdensome
that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, and the more
one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill...if one keeps on
walking everything will be alright.
- Soren Kierkegaard.
If you are seeking creative ideas, go out walking.
Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk.
- Raymond Inmon
The longest journey begins with a single step.
- Lao Tsu, Tao Te Ching
If you want to know if your brain is flabby, feel your legs.
- Bruce Barton
In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.
- John Muir
Walking would teach people the quality that youngsters
find so hard to learn - patience.
- Edward P. Weston
Happy is the man who has acquired
the love of walking for its own sake!
- W.J. Holland
It is not talking but walking that will bring us to heaven.
- Matthew Henry

Jeff, anyone who knows you knows that you can "talk the talk". But you have demonstrated you can "walk the walk" as well. I know you have a bit to go, but early congratulations to you, walkingnut!
ReplyDeleteWell, I've been saving this recipe for Jeff so he can try it when he gets home.

Jeff, just want to say 'Thanks' for taking us along on your journey. Who knows, you may inspire some of us to take our own journey one of these days. I am going to miss your daily blog once your walk is over. But, for some reason, not so sure this will be your last adventure. Take care...and good luck with the last leg of your journey.
