Today, I am walking in the sunshine.
Today, I soak up the golden rays,
Today, walking is a pleasure.
Today, gratitude fills my soul.
Today, I remember,
Walking is a gift.
My feet carry me, urging me forward.
Today, all is forgotten.
How large are my steps?
Am I standing tall or am I bent like a flower?
Today, I pause and breathe, soaking in my exceptional gratitude.
Today, I walk
for the pure pleasure of walking.
Today, I walk with grace and gratitude
Pausing to breath,
The beauty of the field
makes me smile.
Another pause,
another breath,
remembering,
gratitude is everything.

What a joyful celebration of the pleasure of simply walking. I’m so guilty of taking my ability to enjoy a good hike for granted. This is a good reminder to be appreciative of the pleasure of fresh air and movement. I enjoyed a wonderful walk on Wednesday with friends this week. The slightly cooler weather at dusk was a wonderful time to reconnect. That said I find equal pleasure in walking in silence through nature. When you feel the silence as if it were a great fresh wind blowing away the stresses of daily life.
Hmm I find myself rethinking my lunch plans for today. Perhaps a quick walk is really what I need.
