Walking and writing: October 5 2024

in Actifit2 months ago (edited)

The weather is finally shifting toward autumn, but even so it was nearly 80 degrees Fahrenheit today.

I took a walk on one of my favorite hiking paths, which circles a beautiful waterway and wildlife area.

Sometimes I visit the exact place where I broke my foot two years ago, which resulted in two surgeries, a year apart, and a very long recovery.

I go there to remember that life and health are precious and that with care I can remain fit, healthy and vibrant.

Here is the exact spot where I was enjoying the views of fall foliage nearly two years ago and fell from this boardwalk.

The reason I put "writing" in the title is because I've discovered that I love to write while I walk. There's something about it that frees up my creativity. So I open up a Google doc and use voice texting to write stories as I go. If you are a creative writer, give it a try!

Thank you for visiting!

Sorry for the incidence. Hope you're better now? Unforseen occurrences do befall we humans. And it's always good to remind ourselves of the past and to always remain happy and as well count our blessings.

Thank you, @marajah. Yes, now I am very active again, after two surgeries and a long recovery!
