I'm trying to learn to take the long view and yet go one day at a time. As we go through another wave of Covid cases, more weeks of mainly staying home, I try to have a rhythm to my days. Walking has become my mental boost - a chance to get out and concentrate on the little things - the change in colours, the summer flowers giving way to fall ones.
Autumn can be moody - one day a spectacular feast of colours, with blue skies and vibrant reds and oranges.
Other days reminding us of life's fragility. Grey skies can bring grey moods.
The walking brings rhythm to my day, opening vistas, as I climb the hills in my neighbourhood. Walking clears the mind, oils the body, and brings peace.
