Today I went for a long walk. Well, long for me.
I have been walking almost every week day now for three weeks.
It feels so good.
I love Fall. It had rained last night & I love rain. 
(pictures are from last year)
The moist air & the peace of being alone with my own thoughts... made me feel so grateful for my turn on earth. While walking I saw pumpkins growing, smelled bacon cooking, caught a glimpse of Hailey coming out of seminary & even saved a life.
There was this worm on the street. Not the sickly little worms left over from a rain storm, but a real earth worm. Plump & struggling to get off the pavement. As I walked by I thought of being a kid & seeing my dad pick up worms & throw them in the garden. I stopped, turned around, picked up the worm, & threw him in the grass. Worms are good you know? It took guts, picking up a worm. Seriously I'm pretty sure that's the first worm I've ever touched in my entire life. I'm really not a "worm picking up" kind of gal.
Then, I came home & did the laundry...
put dinner in the crock pot, had a creative day with the blogger moms, worked on PTA stuff, wrapped presents for a friend---
I had a great day & that was just the beginning.
*What did you do today?
