Today Becky had a great conversation with a group of people. It seems they understood exactly what we are doing and how we feel about it. They told stories about their families and lives, and felt the enthusiasm that Becky and I have about Our Trip. A friend of mine, let's call him Tom, related Our Trip to a graduation. I think that analogy works on many levels. If you remember your high school or college graduation party, you were surrounded by many people. A lot of them you didn't know very well, but they all had wonderfully encouraging things to say to you. They told you stories of the dreams they had, the things they did, and places they visited. They related to you, and that is exactly the kind of interactions Becky and I have been experiencing since we starting telling people about Our Trip. Not since my own graduation party have so many people made an effort to come up to me or call me and say something positive, inspiring or appreciative. It makes me feel very excited and encouraged to go out and see this country, not just for us, but because there will be so many people that follow along with us. To everyone that stopped what they were doing to say something to us about Our Trip, Thank you.
