As I write these stories I realize its been 5 years since I’ve blogged. I hope to blog longer this time and maybe do a better job. My thought processes currently tell me not a lot of progress has been made in the reforms I hoped would begin by now. There does not seem to be the will to tackle our real problems. This is not good for America. Let us keep doing our acts of Kindness toward each other and enjoy the freedoms we have while they last.

I STILL CALL ON EVERYONE TO GET ACTIVE IN A POSITIVE WAY !

• Exercise: I believe walking is the best exercise, nearly everyone can do it and you need to do it everyday. Mayo Clinic put out a great book on walking. On my walk north to south across America I was constantly talking about getting active. When walking, stay away from busy streets and highways as the carbon-monoxide levels coming from the cars and trucks are way to high. Another idea, turn on some of your favorite music, grab your partner or someone and dance for 30 minutes.

• Volunteer: Some students in our schools need learning help, it can be very frustrating and it can also be very rewarding. Hospice is also a great place to give of your time. You are really appreciated by the people you serve. Helping make sure everyone has something to eat is great. So many ways to help your community and make it a better place to live. Generally, you never know when an Act of Kindness has turned someone’s life around or brought someone back from the depths of depression or given someone’s life a better purpose.

In my coming blogs I would like to talk more about why it was that I walked across this great country and give my views on reforms I think we need. I hope we can maintain civility as we may disagree on what should be done or not done. It is a great blessing to live in this country called “ AMERICA “ let’s work together to keep it great.
