Yesterday we had the most lovely snow day. The woods were simply begging us to come and explore. We had new trails to find and secret passageways and hideouts. Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God. George Washington Carver There were tracks to follow. And tracks to make. Occasionally, the wind blew mini blizzards of snow around us. And then the sun returned and the sky gleamed blue. The sky is the daily bread of the eyes. Ralph Waldo Emerson There were hints of Spring. And reminders of winter. We made wonderful memories. And then, there were the snowy camellias. I got a little swept away by their color and beauty. I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes. e.e. cummings
Good luck with your endurance building! I don't hate exercise but there is just so much I would rather be doing ;-) so I'm in a similar spot.
ReplyDeleteYour funny pictures made me chuckle! A knight's helmet! And a shark book for bedtime! Too funny! =)
ReplyDeleteHave you tried the Runkeeper app? That keeps me super motivated with working out. If you use a treadmill, you can input your stats when you are finished. It's great to go back after a few workouts and look at how much you've done! I also like to play games on my phone while I walk- it makes the time fly by.
ReplyDeleteLove the knight helmet for scooter riding! My son would do the same. And good for you for exercising---just getting to the gym is half the battle!
ReplyDeleteVery cute pictures - all of them!
ReplyDeleteFrogs and thyme-they totally make me happy, too!
ReplyDelete"Emotions follow action, not the other way around." Love that! Thx for the inspiration. ;-)
