The Walk

Girls

Mom & I and Bruno are on a camping trip to Casey, Illinois...home to the World's Largest...things. This morning we saw the World's Largest rocking chair, yardstick, wind chime, pencil, barber pole, mailbox, antlers and token coin. We missed a few but may look them up over the next few days here. 

After a rainy trip here yesterday, it is a nice fall day, sunny but very breezy. The temp is near 60 but feels like 40 with the wind chill. Bruno has had me out multiple times for walks and a chance to smell every smell the campground has to offer. 

As we were on our last walk, we did a lap around the campground and on our way to the far side, the wind was in my face. I had my hood up on my sweatshirt and enjoyed the sunshine but hated that wind. As we reached the far side we turned away from the wind and had the sun against our back while we made our way back around to the camper. The sun felt so good the walk became very enjoyable, even as Bruno stopped and smelled where every dog and squirrel had crossed our path. 

I began to think our walk was like the walk we must all make in life. There are days things don't feel good and we want to turn around and go back. But when we finally get to the end of that initial path, we receive the comfort and joy as things begin to feel better.

So, don't forget when you have those days when the wind's at your face, your turn will come when you feel the warmth of the sun again. Just keep pressing on.

REMEMBER: There are so many beautiful reasons to be happy.

Be talkin' to ya.
