4/18 Hike 2 Walk around town ~2 miles
It's been bugging me for a week that I kicked off this hike challenge, immediately went on three breath taking hikes, and then didn't walk as far as the front door for days. I'm not saying I haven't been active, but I haven't made the intentional trek I've been planning. So when I woke up today and the sun was shinning and the breeze was cool and I had an errand to run within a mile of home I walked there. Because it's close, because the weather is beautiful, because I'm fortunate to live in a safe neighborhood, because I can. And it was just what I needed to see how blessed I am to be capable. I'm able to stand up and walk, I walk for work (mostly in circles) which allows me to make an income so I can take journeys to beautiful mountain trails. Walking is what my body is designed to do, and I've figured out how to use that design to bring myself a bit of happiness.
First I walked to run my short errand. And then I walked to the tennis courts. And then I walked to lunch. And then I walked in my back door, up the stairs and to my lap top so I could share the joy my simple Hike 2 brought to me today. Not every hike is an epic journey, but every walk is good for my heart.
