I’m standing outside enjoying the 20° temperature drop that just came through along with howling winds and rain. It feels wonderful. We have an interesting guest at our house tonight is Tom. And he’s walking from Portland Maine to San Diego California. His mission is to spread the word That the world is a better place than we think it is. He says that despite what the news may make you think, the world is safer and more humane than it ever has been. And he has the statistics to prove it. To Show that he has hitchhiked all over the world and is now undertaking this walk to show the world is basically a very good place . He’s asking each person he talks to to do three do good deeds to other people. It’s sort of a pay it forward thing . t’s a very hopeful message… And one that I believe in. You can see his ideas at http://gogreatergood.com.
Toms relying on just what you can carry in the goodness of the people that he needs to make the journey. He’s walking about 20 miles a day and he has a sign about this message on his back . That’s why I stopped to talk to him as he wakked across the bridge near how are house.
We invited him to stay here tonight and we’ve. Just finished dinner. It was so much fun asking him about his trip so far. since Portland Maine 12 daysnago ? What’s the weirdest thing someone’s asked him (besides me). Where does he sleep? (Behind churches sometimes )What does he eat for lunch? (Sardines, peanut butter)What Route is he planning on taking? (Who knows) What does he do for music? (Nothing) What does he think about most of the time? (Most of the time, nothing) I wonder if I could do something like this?
I love his optimism and his positive message. Please check out his site and Look for him as he crosses our country.
. If you see him, I know he likes pesto noodles.
Niteall, nite sam
