Last night

Last night, I drove over the mountain to Nyack, turned north on broadway & parked my car down on Hook Mtn. State park's lot. I took a walk along the river road & it was Something! Many folks have memories of Happy Times & this is one I hope will stay with me forever! A clear, cool evening, with a light breeze off the water, mixing with the amazing scent of blooming Honeysuckle was Intoxicating! I repeatedly filled my lungs, breathing deeply, to absorb that into myself! I met the usual joggers bikers, conversationalists, exercise folks, dog walkers,etc... And just enjoyed the peaceful coming on of the evening. Strolling is different when you take the Time to look all around, not rushed or pushed by constraints or by others who "want to get something done-damnit!" I had nowhere to go & only my heart propelling me along! What a way to Recharge, feel, be comfortable in your own skin & feel Blessed! Have You had any experiences like that recently?

Sounds perfect. I try to have as many of those moments as possible. Especially in the mornings. I live in the country and I try to go out for a few minutes and just soak it in... the dew, the fresh air, the birds and sun just waking up.. and once in a while a few deer in the field across the road.

I am thankful for today, and that is enough.

Having Fibromyalgia kept me from walking my dogs for two years, but I have new pills now and yesterday I walked them down by the creek. I did feel happy and blessed.

I have. Although I'm a city person at heart, I love the sound of river and streams, and still have memories of places like the Hood River in Oregon, or even the Hudson River in Upstate New York.
