Receding Horizon

I just walked 4.02 miles in 1 hour and twenty minutes.
I could have gone longer -- albeit at a reduced pace -- but I have things to do to prepare for guests tonight.

Barely a month ago it was hard work to walk a mile in 20 minutes.

I had forgotten how strong my body is if I just give it a chance.

Quite a Day

I couldn't figure out why I was so tired. . . and then I remembered my walk from earlier today. Yes, that would do it. My legs feel utterly worn out.

Tonight I had my Gratitude Potluck. Out of eight or ten women friends who were invited, I had four "yes" RSVP's that stuck. Only two of them actually showed up. Still, we had a nice time.

I'm exhausted, and still need to do my evening spiritual practice before going to bed.

Tomorrow morning I'm going to parents' house to celebrate Father's Day. Dad has asked that instead of giving him gifts we help him work in the garden on one side of the house. I'm not fond of yard work, but if that's what Dad wants. . . .

Better get to bed. . .
