Find Beauty in a Walk Somewhere...

I walk this path nearly every single day now rather than the once or twice per week I used to walk. It's probably the single biggest change I've made since retirement. I now feel lost without my walk. There have been SO many things happen on walks over the years - hundreds of phone calls to my mom and dad, practicing lectures or presentations in my head, sometimes memorizing a poem, watching an occasional moose or coyote, scattering turkeys, snacking on serviceberries, seeing fall mushrooms push up through the dry soil, noticing the first spring flowers, picking up lots of trash with Vern, and of course the companionship for 12 years of faithful dog, Moby. Every day is a little better with a walk. Won't you join me? :)

  1. This message hit home with me too. Since moving to the "city" 5 years ago, my walks have been a bit different but still important. I fondly remember taking a walk on your property with Moby myself a few summers back.
