Ohio may not have the views like mountain country, but I'm lucky enough to live very close to some great walking trails. Chestnut Ridge has been one of my favorite places to run for years. The hill in the back is a personal challenge and gauge of my current fitness level. Today I decided to slow it down and take these trails with a sense of peace, rather than a competitive spirit. As much as I like discovering new trails, returning to this spot and finding the beauty in each of it's seasons is refreshing. Today shone vibrant spring greens even as the sky dulled over with clouds. April has been more flowers than showers and I'm eating up the glories of each day.
Since moving back to town within the last six months, I've reconnected with a lot of faces from my past in one way or another. Today, I invited an old co-worker and friend to go walk with me. I've found a great deal of comfort in reaching out to others' personal experiences when I'm facing a new situation. After kicking some things around in my mind for some days, I knew she could shed some light. Hiking has been a huge blessing in my life as I continue to dive into new spaces and today was no exception.
