note to self: go outside
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." — Henry David Thoreau credit My phone died recently. Not like died because of its charge — permanently died. I'm not the only one whom this has happened to, I'm sure, and this isn't a complaint. Rather, it's an observation on how different the landscape of my life has been without it. I've been reading more, watching more TV, doing less doomscrolling.

Hey, sweet girl! It's so good to see you posting! ^_^
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, I so understand! With all my health issues I can't really run either. It just about kills me trying, but I do understand how fun it can be.

I'd give you a real hug if I could but I'll just have to settle for a virtual one. *huuugs*
God has an amazing plan for you life, just keep running towards Him. ^_^ And if you ever need to talk, my inbox is ALWAYS open. Absolutely any time.
Love you. I know it sounds crazy since I've commented on here, like, twice, but you've reminded me of what it means to live. To take breaths of fresh air and just run... and how those two simple things are enormous blessings always taken for granted.
ReplyDeleteThanks, dear.

I love going on walks, but sometimes one must run. It's pretty much the best feeling the world.
