So this morning my hike was a little shorter than usual, I walked along the pathway hoping to clear my head. This is not a good day for me as far as my health goes. But I will work through the pain with God's help.
I can feel it in my joints, my hands are swollen already at 7am. My shoulders feel like the world is on them. So I decided to stop and sit and meditate to the sounds of the trail.
If y'all could only hear this place and see what I am blessed to see. Pictures does not begin to show its beauty. The sound of the water hitting the rocks, ripples in water, the birds calling to each other, woodpeckers, robins, blue jays, cardinals.
The smells remind me of where I was raised. Honeysuckle and BlackBerry blooms, wild flowers, and the smell of the water in the air. My dog is enjoying the cool water as I sit and watch her play.
Today one mile in to my walk, I needed to stop and just thank God! One for allowing me to wake with a smile, two for giving me the determination to drive to the trail, and lastly for helping me clear my mind of negatives. I only asked him for strength to get through the walk today...to relieve my pain just enough for me to make it to my rock.
In an instant I felt better...my shoulders were less burdened, my joints eased up, and my head became even clearer.
I try to thank God daily for everything He's giving me. His plan is set in place for me. I realize that all I need to do is step out of His way. Allow Him to help and trust in Him.
My most precious prayer to date is asking Him for a sign that I am on the right track. He hasn't failed me yet. Daily I am reminded that I am deserving, beautiful, and blessed!
Bom dia Alex 😊
