"If you want to walk fast walk alone,
if you want to walk far, walk together."
African Proverb
The key word is together. We must walk them together. Me and John together. With busy schedules and life getting in the way this forces us to take time for each other...The rules are simple:
Walk together. (Sense a theme here?:-)
No phones or electronic devices. (unless we're geocaching, birding or lost)
Talk or don't talk whatever the mood strikes.
Keep a log of the miles.
Find at least one interesting place to walk on the weekend.
Take a fun vacation to somewhere we can walk a lot.

ReplyDeleteI think that's a great idea! You have to be intentional in your efforts to walk together. At least that what we have to do. Charity walks are a great idea.
