Day 3,469

Growth:

Once we know what we want, what brings us joy, what fuels us, it is so much easier to find ways to do more of that. In my case I’m finding walking outdoors continues to be one of the most joyful and peaceful experiences. So thankful it is free, simple, and so easily accessible!

Appreciation:

When I think back to the COVID experience of five years ago one of the memories that brings a smile is the fact that we would walk as a family over lunch and then again after supper. We largely unplugged together and enjoyed a simple activity without distraction, an opportunity to be engaged with each other while also being outside.

Over the past couple of weeks Becky and I have been walking more and more often in addition to our morning runs. The bonus outdoor time filled with movement is so calming and very much needed after a busy work day. The extra time to connect with her has been amazing too!

Presence:

Walking in the sun through the cemetery while listening to the climax of an engaging audiobook during lunch… exactly what the doctor ordered to get me re-energized for the afternoon!

Thanks!!!
