Day 55 Blue sky and sunbeams poured into our house. I was up and ready for a morning walk with Sonia. As I jumped into the car a deep sigh escaped. Dark clouds had wiped out the sun and blue sky. I prayed to God that he would hold off the rain so we couldContinue reading “Answered Prayer”

Day 54 The rains and flooding kept me inside. My Thursday walker who walks somewhere else while we talk on the phone also walked inside her dwelling hallways. Round and round through my living room, kitchen, office, dining area, and bedroom I walked 3.32 miles. Each time I passed through my office I saw theContinue reading “Inside”

Day 53 Teijuania and I both prayed separately to God to keep the rains away so we could do our walk. We laughed when we met in Big Creek Reservation and learned we had made the same prayer. Naturally, God answered that prayer. The storm that was approaching veered off into a different direction soContinue reading “Changed Attitude”

Day 52 I love the heat and today I walked in the 82 plus degrees temps – twice! My first walk was with Sonia in Acacia Reservation for 3.06 miles. In this park I also took pictures for the Metroparks for an area that was restored. The second walk was in Garfield Heights Reservation asContinue reading “Double Time”

Day 51 Today I hiked my second Trail Ambassador hike of the year with Corky. As a Trail Ambassador of the Cleveland Metro Parks, we hike the trails as representatives of the park system. We look for trail hazards, greet people, answer questions, provide first aid, and are the ears and eyes for the ClevelandContinue reading “Representing”

Day 50 On our Sunday date last week Dan and I hiked in Astorhurst Park of the Cleveland Metroparks. This is a former golf course that is transforming into a park. We had to return today to hike the remaining trails and get closer to Tinker’s Creek. We hiked 3.19 miles. Now all the trailsContinue reading “Astorhurst Take Two”

Day 49 I had the pleasure of walking with Tierney, a sister from church. She is the youngest person I have walked with during this walking celebration. She is young enough to be my daughter. I am grateful that God has returned me to a better level of fitness, otherwise I would have been pantingContinue reading “Youth”

Day 48 Every morning I ask God what my schedule is for the day. I love it when He changes my schedule; His schedule is always best. Today I was supposed to walk with a sister from my church in the evening. She was unable to. Tomorrow I was supposed to walk with another sisterContinue reading “Switched”

Day 47 Yesterday’s snow was almost gone until another front came through last night and reapplied a soft covering of white on everything. I was planning to walk with a friend while talking on the phone with my Thursday telephone date walker. However, after hearing about all the black ice, the accidents, and the highwaysContinue reading “Rest”

Day 46 Karrie and I were planning to walk in the Akron area. However, God said “not today.” He forced us inside by coating our area with four inches of heavy snow. It was beautiful and if I were hiking I might have wanted to venture out in that. But that was not our plan.Continue reading “Friendship”
