The aerobic runners, forty-six years later
I awoke thinking about my father, Spaceman Carter. Before closing my eyes the night before, I made a list in my mind of the priorities in life. I fell asleep feeling like a clone of my father.
Dad was a strong and loving influencer. He was driven by his desire to take care of his family; lend a helping hand; respect, observe and learn from nature; be healthy in order to enjoy each day to the fullest; learn something new each day; be part of the solution and not part of the problem. He loved flying, gardening, walking, running, camping, writing, playing games, solving problems, creating things with his hands, sailing, staring up at the sky, sleeping under the stars and finding beauty in the ordinary.

Loving the Blue, Blue sky
I realize I’m not the only one who missed my walks with Dad. There are people around the world who had joined us on our walks by following this blog. I still go for walks. My father, in spirit, joins me. I apologize for leaving the rest of the world behind. I decided to breathe life back into this blog at least a couple of time each month by sharing some of my walks, the ones walks during which my father is most present and I’m seeing the world as he taught me, by example, to see it.

It was too sad for me to add to this blog as it was titled: Walks With Dad. I obtained a new domain name to bring a fresh life to the blog with as much joy as I did to the original posts. I invite you to follow our adventures together once again. We now walk on just two feet rather than four. My heart carries both of us.
Spaceman Carter and I invite you to follow us here once again. You may find us here at:
Our journey continues … together.
