There's much on my mind that's worrying me. There's lots that's scary in the future. So it's taken a Herculean effort,but I have managed a fair bit to stay present and focus on the delights of the here and now. This has been aided immensely by the dog. Each night he has curled up close, the duvet is so soft and light here I'd like to take it home, and I've felt grateful for the softness of them both. By day I've taken myself out, time after time, to surround myself with the beauty of the hills, the clouds, the buds, the swirling patterns in the bark and in the streams. I'm so lucky to be able to come here, for free, so often.
Today I head back to uncertainty, but I take the soft dog with me and can look at the clouds from anywhere!
I made it back. I was very tempted not to. I nearly texted a couple of you from a remote path for encouragement but I will keep to my mantra of focussing on what I like in the moment and staying there. Can you believe that on my last walk, over 2 hours, I didn't pass anyone else at all?
