Day 8 A fly whizzed past our heads and white flowers peeked from the ground. It is the last weekend in Winter but Spring was sending its notice that it was coming. My husband and I hiked 3.24 miles in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park in 52 degree air temperature, with blue sky, and splashesContinue reading “Signs of Spring”

Malling
Day 7 With temperatures below freezing I had the pleasure of walking 5.3 miles with my long distance homies in a local mall before the crowds came. The three of us normally walk six miles on most Saturdays. This was my first time back with them since November 14, 2021 due to high Ohio infectionContinue reading “Malling”
Trust Me
Day 6 “Trust me! All you need is thirty minutes. It is too sunny of a day to pass this opportunity up!” The Holy Spirit prompted me to walk around my aunt’s complex. I have two aunts and I visit each of them once a month. During the months I could not visit in 2020,Continue reading “Trust Me”
Rain Drops
Day 5 My Thursday telephone date saw my feet move 2.02 miles. I had a doctor appointment. I arrived early so I could walk around the neighborhood and downtown in the small town near the medical facility before my appointment. My walking partner on the phone walked somewhere else. Rain was in the forecast; so,Continue reading “Rain Drops”
Bubbling Over
Day 4 My Sister-In-Christ and I walked in her neighborhood in 66 degree temperatures under partly sunny skies for 2.34 miles. The wind coming before the rain, tried to blow us down, but we walked on. My hat flew off forcing me to carry it the rest of the way. We talked and talked andContinue reading “Bubbling Over”
Telephone Walk
Day 3 On Tuesdays and Thursdays a dear friend and I walk. We walk using our cell phones. She walks in one location and me in another location. Today I walked 2.04 miles around a junior and senior high school to check out the progress of the new construction that will combine the two. ThenContinue reading “Telephone Walk”
Four!
Day 2 I did not have a plan of where to walk today. I had to squeeze in a walk among the crazy schedule of Monday. Instead of going to the park, my husband and I had a functional walk. We walked 4.33 miles round trip to drop off mail at the Post Office. OnContinue reading “Four!”
65 Celebrations
Day 1 Today is my sixty-fifth birthday. I am doing something different. Inside of a big social event, which Covid-19 prevents, the Holy Spirit has encouraged me to walk sixty-five days to celebrate sixty-five days of life granted by God. A detailed devotional called 65 Celebrations explains more. Each day, I will post a briefContinue reading “65 Celebrations”
Live Intentionally
Providing tools that enable us to live intentionally are the focus of this book, “How to Refocus Your Life” by Chris Warnky. I write in a journal daily. I immediately incorporated new skills into what I write from this book. Using some of the tips in this book will help us to do all forContinue reading “Live Intentionally”
New Attitude
In 2013 and 2014 I made six attempts to be published in “Chicken Soup for the Soul” and entered two of “Guideposts Writers Workshop Contest”. None of my stories have been published in either publication. Today after attending B. J. Taylor’s workshop at a writer’s conference and reading “Writing True Stories: Using the Winning FormulaContinue reading “New Attitude”
