Gratitude in Greenville :)

Greenville
Just a few miles shy of Greenville this afternoon, telling me that someone who’d seen me walking Highway 31 gave him a call, Andy Brown, of the Greenville Advocate, stopped to take the Walk story. We chatted for a good 20-30 minutes, and asI had no host lined up in Greenville, he called the local police chief for me to explain my story + “plight” of the night. The chief instructed me to go to the police station upon arriving to Greenville, and they’d be able to direct me from there. As I’m deliberately easy to spot, they recognized me on my way into town, and told me that via a local ministerial alliance, they’d organized a room for me at the local Jameson Inn. Wow– truly above and beyond the call of duty there! GPD Sgt. Miller arrived shortly after I did to fill out the necessary paperwork. After what ended up being a 19-mile day, and about 40 miles since yesterday, that first shower was too refreshing to attempt words. My body is likely to be calling for some rest tomorrow. But, I’m only granted one night here at the Jameson. So, we’ll see what happens… :)

Mood: Abundant Gratitude :)
