A journey that began six weeks ago will draw to a close today, or at least that is the hope. With the weather conditions back home 🏡 it might spill into overtime (Day #43) by the time we complete the drive back from the Greensboro Airport.

  The trip home will not be an easy one as the Delta flight back goes thru New York City and then down to the Tar Heel state. Adding New York will bring the State total to 14 while the Country total remains at three with 🇨🇦🍁,🇺🇸🇺🇲 & 🇧🇸🇧🇸.

  Over the past 6 weeks a great deal of life has been experienced. It included a number of milestones and even a tragic end of a Life well before its time.

  Completing the decade long Great Bowl 🥣 Chase was a big part of the process and catching up with folks from our lives in so many different locations was priceless.

  Crossing the Million Step 🚶‍♂️ barrier on Day 39 was meaningful and it is worth adding that later today Linda will break 600,000 herself !

  There is one thing that happened during this journey that I have not written about until now. Life is about setting goals for oneself and working 💪 to accomplish them.

  After reaching the goal of creating a positive thought or two for 365 Days straight I asked myself what would be the next plateau ? The natural answer was to try and reach 500 Days and I hit that milestone on Christmas 🎄 Day.

  The celebration of the achievement was pushed back as the focus was turned to paying tribute to the Life of Jeff Tobler. But its a mark that I’m extremely Proud of because it requires the ability to shake off any negative energy that comes your way on a given day.

  Life is full of challenges for everyone and my Mission is to try and give people hope while trying 🙏 to make them smile. Somedays it’s easy, others not so much but I see it as my Job.

  I don’t know where the streak will push out to with today making it 514 or so but I will continue with my work until I lose the ability to do so.

  Day #1 of being back will take place on a newly appointed National Holiday in honor 🎖 of the Life of Jimmy Carter, our former President from Plains, Georgia. I hope that day will end with Galax – CCHS Boys 👦 Basketball 🏀 and Swimming 🏊‍♂️.

  On that note 📝, I hope that we can Wrestle and play Girls 👧 Basketball 🏀 tonight as well. It just might pull focus from not having a Winter jacket to wear while I walk to get the pickup truck in the 19° weather at GSO.
