Today’s Pond Photo…
Hi Friends.
There was something eerie about the trail this morning! The trees stood tall, the autumn colours surrounded the pathway, and everything was beautifully still. In fact, I didn’t encounter a single soul throughout half of my walk. I did wonder whether those pumpkin-shaped demonic doorways over Halloween had finally sucked everybody through! Either way, it made for a wonderfully atmospheric walk, with nature putting on quite a show.
Of course, walking a deserted trail does have its disadvantages when you’re registered blind! With nobody around, my imagination started working overtime. At any moment I could have fallen into a massive pit, walked straight into one of those lovely warning metal signs, or perhaps been flattened by a falling tree! You never quite know what’s lurking on every step, but that’s part of the adventure. Thankfully, I made it around the trail in one piece, with no unexpected encounters of the human, supernatural or arboreal variety!
And then there’s coming home! Nothing quite beats walking through the door to a long cuddle from Sarah, with the hum of the fresh coffee machine buzzing away in the background. Apparently, Sarah loves the fresh, ozone-like tree smell I bring home with me after my woodland adventures. She’s even given me a new name: “Outdoorable”! I like that! 😀
A little Monday Motivation…
So here’s to getting outside, embracing the unexpected, finding joy in the simple things and remembering that a little fresh air can do wonders for the body and soul. Have a wonderful Motivational Monday, everyone!
The skies were very moody for this Monday walk. Love the word Sarah coined for your return home, outdoorable! Every day is a new day to walk in faith. In our Hebrew study we are on chapter 11 this week and of course it’s the By Faith chapter so it goes well with your encouragement at the end of your Monday post. Happy November to you and Sarah!
