July Walks: Commitment Ushers Gratitude

July 9,2024

I would have stayed home scrolling YouTube videos had I not told you that I would walk every day in July!  I did walk for 40 minutes this morning, yet somehow that didn’t seem sufficient to my intention. So, I took an evening walk in my neighborhood park. Rote commitment turned from dispassion to immense gratitude and sensory delight!

A slight breeze made tree leaves dance. As I tipped my head back to bask in the calming sound and rhythmic waving, I thought, “What could I possibly do in my house that refreshes my feelings and delights my senses like this simple phenomenon – rustling leaves?”

Breeze
Calming. Refreshing.
Fading sunlight soothes
Gratitude overrides numbing reluctance
Evening walk
