A Leaf in my Path

Lessons from a walk outdoors

It was unusually warm that day. Not unlike other days that week — but still uncommonly warm for mid-February. The welcoming weather was beckoning me outdoors — and for me, good weather means good walks. Despite this spare tire around my waist slowing me down that magically reappears as fast as I lose it — on a mild, breezy day I feel like I can walk forever. Well, really far — for me.
