Today is Day 12 of our 13 day road trip. Yesterday, we were staying put and didn’t have to get in the car and drive anywhere. A welcome relief. I was able to partake in one of my daily rituals – going for a walk – which has been put on hold here on the road.

It felt so go good, like connecting with an old friend. Walking in silence. Connecting to nature, God, my best self. I was in new territory, on an unfamiliar path, but I felt right at home. Walking gets me out of my head and into my heart. Even though I am doing something for my physical cup, moving my body, I receive an emotional, mental, and spiritual refill as well. Life giving all over.

A former runner, I once thought walking was an old person’s activity. I don’t consider myself old at 48 and I find great enjoyment in walking. Perhaps not like that good ‘ole runner’s high, but something better. A complete grounding. A connection to Mother Nature, just as good as any high. (Well, that’s my story for now, and I’m stickin’ to it.)

Cheers, Jenny
