Day 24 Back In The Saddle...

Walked two hours this afternoon...mostly in the rain. As I started to walk and felt the drops getting heavier gradually...I made a decision to absorb it all...to take it in...truly, what does it matter if every last inch of me is soaking wet? It is similar to being in the bathtub...where I get some of my best thinking done, truth be told...so, I decided to do my grocery shopping after coming in out of the rain. No one seemed to notice at all. It was a cleansing exerience...got home and faced off with a rather strange male neighbor who wanted to chit chat and who wanted to let me know that (if I didn't mind him saying so)...all that walking was really paying off...recommended Yoga for my back trouble...and then we said goodbye...he makes me nervous...slightly odd...but it is always nice to have someone recognize the weight loss...safely at home again, tucked away and awaiting a visit from my sister...my wonderful friend and a part of my soul. She has been such a gift to me and such a source of encouragement...talking and fellowship always, always replaces any pleasure which food may offer. God is good..always patient, always waiting for my return...to a spirit of obedience and loyalty...sail on.
