Morning Walk

My mantra for today is patience. Patience. And faith. When I left for my walk this morning it was dark. I had to look down to see where I was going. But slowly, imperceptibly light came. Rising on the horizon, casting it's hope across the world in oranges and pinks, until the darkness slowly yielded to a glimpse of blue skies. Of a new day. Of new possibilities. Of a new outlook. Good things will come to those who diligently seek patience and faith.

Project 365 {2013} - Day 270

Justin, Devy and I had to sneak in a walk and soak up some of this beautiful sunshine before the big girls got home from school. I think Devy liked flying solo with Mom and Dad!

Project 365 {2013} - Day 269

View from our walk tonight! Beautiful!

I got my first regular babysitting job when I was ten. I think it was a good opportunity to start learning independence and responsibility. One of the best parts of Maryn being ten years old now is that Justin and I can leave her in charge of her sisters while we sneak out for an evening walk around the neighborhood. She does such a great job and we are so grateful to her for it!

Project 365 {2013} - Day 258

The girls and I went for a walk and Devyn fell asleep sitting up in the wagon with an apple in each fist! It was so funny because nothing could wake her! Lauryn pulled her up the street and it wasn't until we stopped for  a break that Devy finally woke up. Her nap must have been super restorative, because she wanted to pull an exhausted Lauryn home in the wagon with her big girl muscles! I love my strong Little Women!!

 

Project 365 {2013} - Day 170

I have been so sore the last couple of days. So Justin and I went for a walk tonight to the lake to try to work out some of the crampiness in my legs and aches in my knees. Everything looked like it had become a jungle overnight with all the rain we have had! It was nice to soak in the quiet and breathe some fresh air. Justin and I decided we may need to make it a nightly routine!
