Today's walk was pleasant as Mark and I discussed all the important things of life. Friends and helping where we can. Water Street is becoming a mainstay on the journey. The steam from the river and creek mushroomed up this morning as the sun came over the mountains. The water is up and has more speed on its coursing.
We walked through town and headed to the town office to drop off a water bill. So nice to walk and pay a bill. Too bad our society doesn't allow us to walk everywhere and leave the cars behind.
Lately the thought of all the rushing we do seems to overrides our senses. We get caught up in schedules and running. Our exhaustion feeds on itself. Lack of exercise only contributes to our fatigue.
Walking can help there. It is easy, low impact and peaceful. If you are just starting there is no marathon. Do only what you enjoy. Don't worry about pace or speed. Instead enjoy the spring bursting into flame right now. Look for the beauty that surrounds us. Enjoy!
As Mark and I walked we both agreed that the trials we encounter help us to grow. We don't understand that fully but believe it to be our experience. Perhaps we go through situations so we can tell others how we made it through. Maybe it only helps us to be better at listening.
I enjoy Mark because what you see is what you get. He is honest and truthful. I think Mark is wise.
Keep walkin,
Ron
Lovely and inspiring you have brought joy to our lives as, I am certain, many more. Can't wait to see spring pictures in Va.
