Something unexpected...

I hate walking... and a few years ago my knee hurt so bad and I was so low on iron that I was winded in just a few feet... I prayed for my health to be restored, and it was, so now I should walk with gratitude, right? I can walk and I'm not winded and my health could be even better if I used this gift and walked... but I hate it !!! But Hill wants me to walk, and I want to be able to do even more !! So walk I will !! So last week I started walking in the morning by myself with the "little girl", my ipod !! That's what Hill and I call her on roadtrips !!


And I came upon some unexpected beauty, and I thought of it as a gift to me, the tiniest little flower growing in a crack in the pavement... a struggle to live everyday but survive it does and is beautiful for that struggle !!!

I wish you still lived around the corner, then we could walk together! I keep telling myself everyday that I'm going to walk, and I don't. I love walking, just not by myself!

I didn't like walking either until I started bringing music with me. It's made a huge difference in my attitude.

That little flower is precious.

lol...ok so I posted before logged on for the YW blog, sorry...lol....Here is me:

I always love walking by myself with the tunes cranked up on a morning where there is a chill in the air. It is inspiring, I think to be moving and I love that time to just breathe. I breathe in and out and reveal on every breath I take. Love it!!! Keep it up!!
