I am beginning to learn

I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all. – Laura Ingalls Wilder

I’ve gone on several walks by myself in the past week, and I’m enjoying it more and more. Last night I walked our dog along a cemetary, taking in the golden light of a gorgeous sunset. Occasional distracting thoughts crept in, but I’m getting better at giving them a gentle boot.

Today, it’s cloudy and threatening rain, more difficult to go for a walk and experience the same sense of contentment. But I plan to do it anyway.
