I started trying to get more walking into my morning routine. I plan to create a process that affords me time each morning to meditate, motivate, get morning sun, and have a starting point each day that puts me on a desired path. The "trial run" (walk) was 1.9 miles in about 30 minutes. That seems reasonable and sustainable. I'll do it again tomorrow morning. Back at home, I roasted coffee for the week, replaced the battery in one of the two dog collar trackers, and moved a few of the existing trackers around to optimize what fit best. We washed the dogs at the end of the evening after a quick run for some grocery needs. Earlier today, I dropped in on my mom and stopped by Madronia to honor and recognize Linda's birthday. It remains surreal to sit above the ground in which she is buried. Yet the fact remains that her life and mine were intertwined and left a lasting impact and lessons to learn from. We may have never had the resolution, closure and acceptance had she not gotten ill.
