Springer's Journey

I’m on the promenade in Seaside, Oregon.

I haven’t been here in a VERY long time.

I’ll SHOW you how long in a minute.😎

What a beautiful day!

I walked into town from where I’m camping and have been photographing flowers and EVERYTHING.  Dogs (you’ll meet 14 year old Gracie in a minute) people (with their permission). What an incredible day.  I’m feeling so grateful.

AND THEN IT HAPPENED

I was sitting near them.

Eating.
Just another person at the counter.
They started talking about what they did.
What they created.

And then it hit me.
I knew who they were.
I had never seen their face before.

I got to shake the hand of a person who CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER.

From “I hope I don’t wake up tomorrow” to

“Wow.  I smiled today.”. THAT KIND OF LIFE CHANGING.

And it happened by accident.

I’m not trying to be evasive, but I did not ask permission to publish the facts of the story.

I will honor their anonymity. Thank you so much. 🥹

Here’s the  “Time Capsule.”
