Mile 262. It rained a little this afternoon, and it's thinking about raining some more. Wouldn't that be nice! It made for nice walking conditions this evening, accompanied by the walking thoughts of Mary Durham ...
Cheerio!

One step at a time can lead to great things!
And now for today's walking thought ...
"Another mother shared an experience of helping her children learn to recognize the Spirit. 'Sometimes,' she wrote, '[children] don't realize that a recurring thought, a feeling of comfort after they cry, or remembering something at just the right time are all ways that the Holy Ghost communicates [with them].' She continues, 'I'm teaching my [children] to focus on what they feel [and act on it]' "
The tortoise is smiling!
