Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Sunday Morning

This morning I walked 6.2 miles.  It started out dry and cloudy but about two miles into my walk a light rain started and continued throughout the walk.  Since it was a humid morning the rain felt good and kept me cool. Though it was light, an hour of light rain was enough to get me pretty wet!
I walked over the the liquor store to see if there were any coins in the parking lot and I found a lucky penny.
Then I headed over to the lake.  I knew they were having another triathlon there so I just walked around a little bit of the lake and took the first path that lead back to the street.
Work has been going on here with drains and the path was all torn up for a while, but today I saw there were new paths.  I don't walk this way that often. My walk continued on the street, down another path, down another street and then home.

 A thought for Sunday

Psalm 25:4&5
Show me your ways, O Lord;
Teach me your paths.

Lead me in your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
On You I wait all day.

And now I'm off to get ready for church.
Have a blessed Sunday.
Happyone :-)

Guess what...I got wet today while walking. I walked 5 miles and it rained cats and dogs here, in Hastings, England. But like you, I'm not bothered by the rain. I love it. Have a good day.

Walking in a rain on a steamy day can be very refreshing. I'm glad they keep the walking paths in such good shape.
