Afternoon in the cemetery

This morning when I went outside
to feed the birds it was 14 degrees.
I decided to wait to walk until the heat of the day.
By mid afternoon it was clear and sunny.



The moon was all I could see
in the afternoon sky.

I walked in the cemetery.
It was very quiet.
The Geese were resting .


I walked for half an hour.
A Red Tailed Hawk flew over my head.
No wonder I did not hear any birds.

Snow is in our forecast for tomorrow.
I have made a commitment to walk each day
when the weather allows.
Thank you for walking with me.

You are doing this, even when it is very cold. I'm so glad for you.

Wishing I could summon the commitment.

It would be better for me, to _do_.


Rather than to waste time, in wishing...

Dear Mari-Nanci,
Years ago I did not go out very much in the winter. It was just too cold! Slowly I began buying the warm winter clothes I needed so that I could be out and stay warm. If it is very, very cold I still walk just not for very long.
While my son was here in December I did not go walking as often as I like to.
Cold rain does keep me inside!
Maybe you could find some very warm leggings and a new pair of walking shoes. A five minute stroll is good! Build up to twenty minutes. I used to stamp my calender with a rubber stamp of two feet every time I walked. It took a couple of years to get the walking habit. I walked with my husband in the evenings. Last spring when I began walking with the camera I was hooked on daytime walking. Doing the blog helps too. I can take my photos and share my walk. That is very fun!
Thank you for walking with. If you do start walking and want to post about your walks know I will come and walk with you.
We will find a way to make "wishes" come true.
Hugs,
Sherry
