To walk, and walk, and walk...

Wherever I go I always take with me the right tools and resources that I might need just in case I have to walk to get back home.  Why? Let me paint you a picture.

As a young child I had a series of dreams.  Just like a television series that continues along a progressing story line each week so did these dreams.  It all started out on a family trip to the mountains for a drive and a picnic.  For some unknown reason our family car, which was a red Jeep Cherokee Chief, would not start.  So, we began walking.  Each night for what seemed to me like years, actual years, night after night, each time I went to bed, my dreams were all about trying to get home.  Always just walking... and flying.  I'm one of those people who has always had dreams where I was able to fly.  If only I could do that while I'm awake.  I am sure one of the reasons for those dreams were to inspire me to prepare for this possibility.  Hopefully it won't actually happen to me but I'll do my best to be ready for it.       

When one of my kids go away with a friend on a trip, my advice to them is to be prepared to walk home.  To take with them what they need to make walking home possible.  This is also my advice to you.
