<p>Hello to you listening in <a href="https://visitchicago.com/">Chicago, Illinois</a>! </p><p>Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds, your daily dose of hope, imagination, wisdom, stories, practical tips, and general riffing on this and that.</p><p>I’d seen him walking the early morning road, an older gentleman wearing a white tee shirt stretched over a bit of a paunch and tucked into belted farmer-style dungarees, baseball cap pulled down snug over his forehead, chin to chest walking steadily and deliberately to a tune only he could hear.</p><p>The other day I was walking the same early morning road and there he was. I waved “Hello!" as we do here, I’m Diane, how ya doin? Fine, he replied; I’m Stan. I’ve seen you walking this road; how far do you like to go? Oh, 10 miles up and back! 10 miles! Every day? No, just 2 days a week; but I’ve been doing it - for 20 years - rain or shine.” And off he went walking steadily, deliberately.</p><p>10 miles a day, 2 days a week, for 20 years, rain or shine.</p><p>My Canadian friend and colleague <a href="https://www.badwolfcommunity.com/about.html">Charlene Norman</a> says, “<i>There is magic and success in consistency</i>.” Imagine that!</p><p><i>This is the place to thrive together.
