Happy Feet

I packed a lunch, loaded my bike, and lingered at Bere Point yesterday afternoon!

Ahh, nourishment for my spirit, mind, and body...

Day 22... Travel How did you travel in 2010? How and/or where would you like to travel next year?

• by car
• by bike
• through the lens of a camera
• by truck
• with my trusty hikers
• by canoe
• through pen on paper
• reading the written word
• by ferry
• on the Literacy bus
• through the eyes of the Lord

Deep down, I am a nomad!  I have given it my best shot in trying to suppress my nomadic thoughts by doing the responsible things; getting married, having a child, and paying a mortgage, yet...these tendencies to   wonder, to  travel, to go somewhere are always bubbling!  I'm always mulling over in my mind 'where should we go?' ...for the short term and the long term.

I most certainly would never leave my family!  I'm glad to have found true love and such a great guy who shares in most of my passions...I'm overwhelmed with the bond between my son and I and am very glad to have experienced this amazing God given gift of being a mom, and a parent!

Ask me what I see for our future...I see downsizing and living somewhere smaller with no mortgage attached; making it easier for moving on if that opportunity presents itself.  I see travelling all over the globe.  I see bike trips and back packing. 

Ask me what I want to do this weekend...GO...go somewhere; hopefully in to the wilderness where I feel most alive and peaceful, with of course, those who love me most!  But, I will go anywhere!

Where do I want to go in 2011 and how do I want to get there??

I want to go anywhere, by any means, any time!  For me, the key word is GO!

If I can learn something, discover something new, or help someone...even better!

Day 14... Appreciate. What’s the one thing you have come to appreciate most in the past year? How do you express gratitude for it?

My HEALTH...more specifically...

my LEGS!

In our small community, there are more than a few who have sicknesses or diseases that keep them bed ridden and or wheel chair bound! 

My heart goes out to them...I don't think I could bare just one day in their position

and for some of these people, this is a life long sentence!  In most cases, all that life allows is the chair they sit in and steady deterioration!

I love being able to go outside for a walk, a bike ride or to geocache!(where I  feel most alive)

I am thankful that I can drive!

I do not have to rely on anyone to help me with my personal hygiene!

I do not have to sit back and watch while everyone else does my cooking, cleaning, and laundry without complaining that it wasn't done the way I like it!

With healthy legs...

I am (constantly)thankful!...

Iam FREE!
