Maybe I’ll never run again.

That might happen.

But….maybe I’ll be like this guy….an appreciator and encourager.

Worse things could happen than to be beloved by the people around you.

I better get working on that…..sometimes it’s hard to make up for lost ground.

“Beloved” doesn’t happen overnight….unless you save the President or rescue a puppy from a burning airplane or something.

But….again….but…..this guy!!  Bill Dooper!

Man.

All the heroes….all the great accomplishments that people achieve…..all the races that people run….all the marks that are left that inspire us….all that stuff kind of pales momentarily for me watching this guy.

Sincere appreciation is something kind of beautiful.

This guy is pretty sincere….and that’s good to see.

It’s good to see the effect his sincerity has on the people around him.

A “good guy” leaves a fine and strong mark on the world.

I don’t know Bill Dooper.

I kind of like him, though.
