Hiking Gems

Good morning from a sorta slow roll morning. 

A little less slow roll because I slept in 2 hours longer than usual and I don't have a ton of time to lallygag around. Gardens are calling. Storms did havoc on my son's garden so I need to spend some time there this morning.

Was the sleep-in worth it? 
I'm not sure, but here we are. 


I had a good hike yesterday. Short worked for my tired back, but I'll still say it was a big rush in the morning for not the biggest return. Still, she's a friend I enjoy spending time with and that was nice. I'll just be a little more careful about what and when I schedule a hike with her. 

Mother Nature showed up. Even when it's not the pretty of spring or fall, there are little gems to find. Most of these pictures are hers -- she's our official photographer lol.












The afternoon was a crazy favor for the kids. Unannounced closet supply delivery. Long story. Truck didn't wait for me to drive 10 minutes to accept the delivery. Company had them return. Hours waiting at the house. Pallet almost fell off the truck. Delivery guy almost passed out. Lots of drama, but it's ready for their install later in the week. You're welcome. 

P.S. THIS kind of thing is how MY time gets eaten up, but my schedule is more balanced this week so I'm not as frantic about losing the afternoon.


The Tuesday group isn't hiking today. "That" person is on vacation. One of the other ladies offered up a neighborhood walk which I declined. I asked about a lunch, but no reply so guess that's not happening. I might take myself and a book out to lunch. We'll see if time permits. 

I am really proud of myself for the decisions I made this week. I know it seems like such a small thing, but it matters a lot to me. 


I'm hiking with the hike leader tomorrow and I'll tell her I'm all in for Slovenia. I had a horrible dream about it already -- falling off the ridge path. Geez. If I get on the trip, I'm going to need coaching hah!


Okay, I'm going to get going. Balance exercises (I see you, ridge line) and an arm workout. I also want a longer meditation this morning. I've been doing visualization meditations about "stronger and lighter." The more I repeat it, the more it shows up for me, the more I notice, the more I can redirect myself. 

It's all in the practice of the thing you want. 
(Another "back to basics" philosophy that I've steered too far away.)

Have a good day. Later gators.
