Great walk today.

Posted by Marie Winters Adams at 7:42 PM

Yes, I had a nice 4-5 mile walk in the sun this morning. It was wonderful. I didn't run or jog - I just walked and listened to my tunes. We don't have Church until 1 pm on Sundays this year, so that gives me plenty of time in the morning. Yes, I'm ready to start walking outside more.
On my walk today - I thought a lot about how much I love this beautiful Earth that God created for us. I think I love almost every kind of terrain it offers. I love the ocean. I love the mountains (especially the ones with trees on them). I even see beauty in this desert area that we live in. I love looking up at that beautiful blue sky and seeing the sun, the clouds, and sometimes even the moon in the daytime. I feel blessed to be able to get out and walk on this land. Thank you. Thank you for this wonderful abundant feeling that I feel today, Lord.
I've been blessed to be able to see a lot of the earth out there. We've been to Europe a few times, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Canada, Mexico, The Carribbean, and many places in the USA. I think I remember every trip and how in awe I was at the land and the people and the history and the food and.....and......

I've learned a lot from each trip. I do love to travel.

To laugh often and love much

To laugh often and love much--
To win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children--
To earn the honest approbation of critics and endure the betrayal of false friends--
To appreciate the beauty --
To find the best in others--
To give of one's self--
To leave the world a little better whether by a garden patch...a healthy child...or a redeemed social condition--
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sang with exultation--
To know even one life has breathed a little easier, because you have lived--
this is success.

Marianne Williamson

I'm a fan of Marianne Williamson. Here's a quote from her:

Regardless of how dark things get, there is light that will ultimately follow the darkness. For that is guaranteed by God. What lies in our hands -- what is completely up to us as beings of free will -- is how long the night will last and how quickly the light will get here. Many people on this earth have cast great light, and now is a moment when all of us must. At a time of war, let's cultivate peace. At a time of hate, let's cultivate love. At a time of hopelessness, let's cultivate hope.
