The cold seems to be following me. The weather I mean, it was chilly in Kansas actually more like a blizzard, and it was chilly in Colorado, but you would expect that. Las Vegas was semi chilly during the day and down right cold at night. Now I am in Alabama and it's cold here too! I'm hoping for some sunshine to warm me as I am having a little more trouble in the movement part. I swelled up on the bus, my knees and neck are aching something fierce. Hauling my suitcases train style (they have wheels) is getting more difficult as well.
I really have no complaints though, meeting all the people on this Journey is what I think I needed to do. Each person has there own story making my story pale in comparison. The man I met on the train who was injured in a car accident, he is now a preacher he has numerous disabilities, yet maintains a positive attitude and has goals and a plan for his future.
The Internet friends I met from my support group, all wonderful people in their own rights all with nightmares of their own.
The lady I met who was out of her mind... I mean she was in dementia land... But still traveled unaccompanied and her stories although bizarre let me know just how insignificant my troubles have been.
They function, they cry, they are scared, but they all seem more grounded than me. Each person I meet on this journey is teaching me that it really isn't about the destination, that wherever I go, I'm still the person who went through some terrible stuff, but it doesn't have to control me. I don't have to be the victim. I'll check in again soon... remember those you meet today with a prayer and a kind word. Thanks
