Short daily walks that add up ~~ friends being there when you need them ~~ cooler days giving me a glimpse of the fall that is soon to come
I'm so grateful for all these.

I've stepped up my walking game a bit lately. I've not sped up in my walking or even added distance to my walks really. I've just added more walking. I've been trying to go for a walk morning, afternoon and evening. Just strolls really, though every once in a while I have to remind myself of that, thay are just around my neighborhood usually. Sometimes I throw in a longer one but usually not. I've been amazed at how they have added up in steps and mileage. I had two 8 mile days in a row! Yes, I, me, simply Sherri, walked 8 miles in a day, two days in a row. I've had a total of 3 of these days ever! After, the second one, I decided I wanted to try to do it at least once a week. I never dreamed I'd do it the next day! I wasn't even trying! I'm really enjoying these walks, not only are they good for my body, they are good for my soul.

I often see on social media some kind of meme or quote about friends. They say something about how true or real friends are the ones you don't talk to for a long time but are there for you when you need them. I have mixed feelings about that. I think it's important for friends to spend time together but in this busy world of ours, maybe that's just not possible. I have a good friend, a neighbor really, who I don't talk to or see enough but when one of us needs the other, we are always there. It's so nice and refreshing to be able to call on a friend when you need one. I'm so grateful to have a friend like that.
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!" ~ Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

This weather has been perfect for all my walking. If it was warmer, I don't know that I could it! I've been enjoying time out on the patio more because of the cooler temperatures too. I have always loved fall. The cooler temperatures, the leaves changing, wearing sweaters, fires in the fire bowl, soup and chili, home baked bread. I can't wait for this next change of season. Actually, I love all four seasons though, I'm noticing as I get older, I like the heat of summer less and less and I find myself wishing for a little shorter winter sometimes too, but I do love the different seasons. They all have their place. I've always wanted to live somewhere that has all four seasons and I do now. I do have to say though that Autumn is my favorite. What's your favorite season?
