hallowe'enie
This is the week of Halloween.
I could care less and pretty much ignore anything Hallowe'enie in the stores etc.
But there are some pretty cute decorating ideas
that have to do with pumpkins and
so I take this opportunity to share them over the next few days.

walk blog 2
A couple of weeks ago I was at the
church on a Thursday evening and was waiting for a meeting to start
and saw a Darts driver doing her job most efficiently. She had
wheeled the client into the fellowship hall and was getting back to
the van.
As she walked by me, I told her “Thank
you for the work that you are doing. I want you to know that it is
appreciated.”
She responded, “Thanks, you need to
know that that means an awful lot to me right now.”
++++++
The
next day I was trudging down the city streets on my walk.
As
I was walking down Acadia a woman, who had just left the house down
the street, pulled her car over with her window down and said, “Keep
going, you're doing great” and gave me a thumbs up.
As
I came up to the house that she had just left another woman was still
out on her porch from waving good bye to the woman in the car.
As
I passed the house I indicated to the woman standing in front of her
house that the other woman had really encouraged me and I appreciated
it.
She
then said some encouraging words and added, “I am a walker too.”
I
replied that I wasn't a walker and this was hard for me.
She
said, “Well, keep at it because you look terrific.”
The
next morning I woke up a walker
and
really grateful to that woman.
+++++
Casual words said to people we don't
really know.
Encouraging words.
If only we heard them and spoke them
more often.

walk blog 1
I have been walking since September.
I started out committing myself to at
least 3 miles 3 times a week,
I think I heard Judge Judy say she goes
that far and so I figured I could at least do the same.
It has become so much fun that I look
forward to it.
I would love to do it every day but
some days I just cannot fit it in.
Some walks are longer – some shorter.
The longest in one walk was 7 miles.
I have now walked in the rain and the cold. Something I have said I would not do.
But I will not walk when there is snow or
ice on the sidewalks
so we will see how long I can walk outside.
Then I will have to dust off the
treadmill. And that is literal.
There is plenty of dust residing on
that beast in the basement.
I have, so far, not walked with
anything to listen to. No music and not spoken word.
Just my thoughts and prayers as I plod
down sidewalks.
It has become a most marvellous part of
my day.
This was one of the most interesting trees I have seen on my meanderings.
It is located on the north side of Stonechurch Road
between Upper Gage and Upper Ottawa.
