won't take no for an answer

HIYA!

It's been raining quite a lot lately yet I walk in the rain just the same. It's part of my understanding. I know I'm going to get wet and I've prepared for it. Everything that I want to stay dry is in plastic bags. I'd like to dry off too but that's part of the plan. To push myself mentally, spiritually.

Sprinkled all morning yesterday with hardly a let up. I was wet the whole morning. And the beginning of the afternoon. It sure was nice to dry off late in the afternoon.

Walking in the rain, and actually, even before it started raining, I met people offering me rides. Some of them wouldn't take no for an answer. Man some people can be persistent. I'd tell them time and time again that I'm walking, that it's not like I suspect them of anything, but I'm walking. They hear what I say, but for some reason, it doesn't stick. Some people need to be told 4 or 5 times, one guy yesterday I told him, must have been six times. Seriously. I don't think I'm exaggerating at all. I really don't believe they were after anything, I really do believe they were just being genuinely friendly and hospitable. But boy oh boy. This one guy yesterday, even after the rain had stopped, six times I must have told him. And four or five times I told him that it wasn't me he saw get off a bus because I haven't been on a bus in many many days. Four or five times!!

Just another thing to practice being okay with.
