I understand the feeling of wanting to jump on a train and go as far as it will take you. When I was little[I`m 68 now] I lived in avery uncareing and abusive
home. We lived near the railroad tracks and I`d lay in bed and close my eyes real tight and wish I was on that train and all the places I would go.
I never got on that train but I know why it sounds like a goo idea. You sound so alone, do you think you will ever leave Missouri?
I live in a very small town in Oregon. Only 1290 people. Small towns can be lonely
too. Years ago my Aunt and Uncle would take me fishing. I loved it and later took my kids. I have`nt been for several years as my husband has heart problems and diabetes. We use to travel but no more, his illness and the cost of
gas on social security puts a halt to a lot of dreams.But without our dreams what have we got? Later.....Lonnie

Hi there! I'm up here on Lake Superior and the temperature has finally gotten up to 50 degrees. The ice is beginning to go out on the river which is across the road from me. I live across the river from a little village.

I understand that restless feeling. Maybe you could pack up a few things and just go someplace. Take a friend. Go downtown and talk to strangers.

Thanks for including me in your friend list.

I like the jump on the train idea. I might just do that myself. I could ride back and forth to Seattle in a day. Such a good idea I hadn't thought of.
