We walk or hike several miles each day in retirement. Our travels around the world are based on hiking locations. Walking is a form of meditation. Started this routine in our early 50s…best thing we’ve done.

"An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.” ~ Truer words were never penned.

As to your mental meanderings: They mirror mine from many a day. I walk a lot, mindfully, and never fail to return home filled with gratitude and understanding and a deeper connection to all that matters.

Beautiful. So pleased you recorded it so you could share it with us. Walking or just sitting outdoors and taking it all in - being mindful. It sets the tone for the day. Grateful to be alive sums it up to me.

In February I decided to be kind to someone everyday. It seemed to please the person I was kind to, but it has warmed my insides too. It has become a daily habit.

Lovely. You remind me how important a solitary walk is now and again. But I also love the walks with friends and loved ones. Thanks for sharing. 🤎

Glad you transcribed and shared this, David. Such a heartfelt awareness. This makes it easy to recall similar moments. I look up to the sky and say, "Thank You" so very often.

Thank you for this, it was a very good read for the beginning of my day. I often sit outside just quietly and observe the sky and birds with much enjoyment. Times like that are filled with a fascinating stream of thought. There is tremendous value in quiet contemplation!
