A mid week walk
For what it’s worth… it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you’ve never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start over again. ~F. Scott Fitzgerald

Yesterday was my birthday and as a gift from the universe, the sun was shining ☀ . We decided to keep it simple and planned a couple of hours hike with some picnic food. There were lots of butterflies of which some were quite bold. On our way up the top we chatted with an elderly couple (age 75+) with whom we got acquainted during covid-19 lock down in 2020. The gentleman had walking poles but they both were in good shape. Walking on steep trails is not easy for their age. The lady chatted with us and told us about her hospital stay due to some breathing problems she got recently. I am sure there is nothing serious as she is able to hike three times a week. After car parking there is a gravel road (toll road) in steep terrain all the way up to the post. The elevation difference for them was from 260 – 600 m. We need no formula to know how fit they both were.
For Jo’s Monday walk
Random 57: Don’t hurry to judge
Pandemic put them together in a walking routine. They take a walk almost everyday irrespective of weather.
Scenario1:
She: Awe, look, it’s so beautiful.
He: Oh yes.
She: Can you take a photo?
He: Don’t stop. Keep walking.
She:
They keep walking…
A couple of days later.
Scenario 2:
She: What happened? Why did you stop?
He: Hold my gloves.
She: ” “.
He: The other day you wanted the photo, right? I can take it now.
She: Soon after the awe moment, she explained what frame she wants.
The result you see is taken by him for her. The other day temperature was -11 °C and today it’s -2 °C.
And life goes on.

Nurturing Thursday: Realize
Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art. ~Maya Angelou
***************
I haven’t been using my camera for a while. I am not aware of the exact reason but I guess recent circumstances didnn’t encourage me. Just yesterday evening I thought of taking it out on a walk. The change in routine got me engaged in a creative process and for sure lift my spirit.
Do something which helps you in changing your mood and brings a smile.
Stay safe and healthy.
Inspired by Becca’s Nurturing Thursday
