Motivation


I wasn't going to walk today.
I was not in the mood.
I read your comments.
I put on my shoes.
You encouraged me.

Mockingbird was waiting
in the Fire bush by the driveway.


He had all sorts of chatter.
He flew from tree to tree as I walked down the street.
I was not alone.


You walked with me.
Thank you.

Precious little Mocking bird looks sleepy in the one photo. The 3 leaf photo is lovely. So glad we could walk today, though it was drizzly, and dark this morning...

That's the Spirit!

Love~ sprite

Dear Sprite,
I could hear your voice as I was lingering inside. "Get your shoes, let's go.."
Thank you!
Sometimes I need encouragement!
Love,
Sherry

What great photos of the mockingbird! As well as the butterfly.

Dear Iowa Gardening Woman,
Knowing you come and walk with me encourages me to walk, when I am not in the mood. I need to walk at least five times a week. I need to build my strength back up.
Thank you.

Dear Mary,
Thank you!
My daughter and I have talked about motivation. I can on most days be self motivated, other days I am not. Having an audience helps. Sometimes knowing I will take photos and write a bit for you makes me want to go walk.
We walk together, here. We get to chat and share and be friends. I love it!
Thank you for walking with me.
Thank you for letting me walk with you.
Sherry
