What a beautiful day!

Walk, Meditate, Pray... Lifts my spirit!
For many years now, going back to around 1998, I have grown very fond of taking a morning or afternoon 'prayer walk'. I used to call it that and it was the quietness and solitude I needed, to refresh myself and set my mood for the challenges of the day.
Sometimes it was necessary at lunch time during the working day so that I could 'regain' my serenity....! Need that 'pause' sometimes... Need to take a deep breath... Allow options and brighter outlook... change perspective... Regain peace and calm with thoughts of how truly blessed I am... remind myself to 'choose happiness'!
Where I live now, I love to take a walk over a wooden bridge, over a stream because it's beautiful. It's even beautiful in the winter time. I feel so blessed and fortunate that I have been able to find the time to take this walk sometimes.

Over the river and through the woods.... :)


Lately, I go to the gym every other day, do the ellipical and some toning and weight lifting, and then alternate days, I take a walk. I always feel good after working out! Always!.... spiritually and mentally that is.... physically... well that's another story! LOL! I feel better once I recover :)

Here's my prayer for today...

Father, God in Heaven,
Thank you for yet another beautiful day!
Thank you for allowing me the strength, motivation, inspiration to accomplish many things each and every day, no matter how small.
Thank you for giving me the capacity to not 'sweat the small stuff'.
Please continue to shower me, my family, my friends and associates with your favor.
Please bless us with the ability to recognize priorities, set vision and goals.
Please dear Lord, supply us with wisdom, patience and tolerance.
Bless us with good health and fulfill our needs, along with the understanding of how blessed we are.
In Jesus' name, Amen!

Have a great day, everyone!!!
