In these waning days of summer, teachers prepare classrooms for the return of students and neighborhood kids play their last games. Seeing the annual rite, memories of my own care-free times bubbled to the surface. As so often happens, reality, memories, and fiction wove a story together in my mind.

As always, my musings are 100% true—except for the parts I make up. Confession. This week’s might be more made up than not.

If you’re quietly chasing a dream, take that first step. You’ll never know if one step will lead to the next, and the next, until you find yourself 5,000 steps later living your dream, but it can happen.

Have a terrific week. See you next Monday.

A technical problem at a restaurant reminded me of the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo when good people kept asking, "What else would we do?"
