Walkabout

Me decision to leave the warmth, comfort and not to mention relative safety of Me abode was one of reluctant necessity and possibly extreme stupidity. Me got it in me head to take a walk and pretty much just traipsed through me door with the innocence of a child setting out to meet some friends.
Me can’t say there weren’t worries though. It’s been quite some time since Me last took off and that time Me had wheels to put distance between where Me was and where Me was going. This time were different and me was wonderin iffin Me was gonna be able to find a warm place to rest me bones as day eventually and resolutely turned in into night.
The first part of the mornin were spent workin out the kinks in me bones, but the weather was warmer than Me had expected and Me found it pleasant enough that me didn’t bother tryin to pick up a ride. With paw filled pockets Me trudged along without thinking about nothing in particular, enjoying the sight of familiar roads close to home convert into new and different scenery with each step forward and every unexpected turn.
Me began the trip thinking about the things Me brought with me. Telling me self that it be good not to bring anything of value. Me credit cards, watch, cell phone, wallet, etc. All left behind so as to distance Meself with all the encumbrances and conveniences of daily life.
That’s when it hit me. Trying to get rid of all the objects of importance meant nothing because Me was taking something on this trip that had infinitely more value something that couldn’t be replaced if lost or stolen.
The Monster was taking Me on this journey and if Me weren’t careful all the other “important things” wouldn’t amount to the start of a pimple on the bottom of me butt.


Remember that you are important and treat yourself accordingly.
