Walking Trails

Exercise, the beauty of nature, and gratefulness restores my soul.

May 17

I went outside tonight to get something from the car and realized it was a beautiful night. It had been hot today, but now it's perfect. I went inside and asked my husband to go for a walk with me. As we walked along the walking trails through our neighborhood, gratitude just flooded my soul. God has so blessed us to be able to live in such a beautiful neighborhood, in such a wonderful part of the country. Our walking trails can make you feel like you are on vacation. I have walked these trails often, but my husband has not. It was nice to share with him some of the beauty I have experienced. To let him know how grateful I am that we moved here. It was good for him to see how beautiful our yard is compared to others. Too often he has the wrong perspective. He is too hard on himself. God blessed him with a fresh set of eyes. We walked until it was dark. Exercise, the beauty of nature, and gratefulness restores my soul. It was a perfect evening and as I crawl into bed I am at peace.
