come walk with me

AutumnLeaf

I am back on 24-hour shifts. Once a week, plus three regular days. There is a good reason for this and a part of me does not mind at all because it also means I get three days off every week. And as things are beginning to shift inside of me, ever so subtly, I am taking small external steps onto my path ahead. I cook a little more. I drink a little less wine. Today I walked to the grocery store, rather than take the car, because, frankly, I fancied some fresh air! And the light was so lovely, so I took my camera, too. I also stopped checking my work emails at home and on my phone, they were small but regular intrusions into my private space and just making that decision has caused a considerable change in how I will feel about my job. A lot lighter. What I am really doing is setting some boundaries. And that has a lot to do with some of the work that’s going on in my counseling sessions. I will share more on that another time, it’s midnight and I have to get up again in six hours. I hope you enjoy the images I took during my walk today!

You healed a little bit of my soul today with these pictures! I felt like I’d had a tiny taste of home. Thank you!

The word I have to type to make this a real comment is ‘magic.’ I wish that for you today. I think that maybe you need a little…

love to you! xox

They are lovely images Kerstin. I am so glad that you’re feeling better. You’re right, just those little changes can make a world of difference.

Kerstin – what fabulous steps! Living life a little more deliberately, more healthy, more aware – good for you! What a beautiful autumn walk.
