As I walked by the water, a woman literally “galloped” up to me from where she had been sitting. She was grinning from ear-to-ear and exclaimed more than asked, “How far do you go?” A little “off guard” I said, “At least a couple of miles”. She held up her palm and with a great big enthusiastic smile said, “High five; that’s awesome!” I reluctantly joined in the sweaty “high five” and moved on with my walk feeling as if I had somehow been changed. This “galloping”, grinning” woman made something “special” that I was treating as “routine”. She transformed my routine walk into an Olympics event! In a brief moment she spoke "life to potential", and this is “Simple Encouragement” at it’s very best! And the rest of my walk? Are you kidding? I “ran” with wings on my feet! Well, you know, to the degree that I can do THAT. I didn’t win a gold medal, but it sure felt good. Simple Encouragement® always does!
