A Walk in the Park


I took a walk in one of our local parks today. A beautiful day to walk around the pond and detour onto a few wooded paths. 

For most of us, that’s an unremarkable event. Ten years ago, it would have been pleasurable, but unremarkable for me. That changed nine years ago, when a devastating illness took such simple pleasures away from me. For someone who loved walking and nature, it was a particularly difficult loss. The road back to mobility has been a long and difficult one.

Today was the first time that I have walked through the woods in nine years. To say that it was remarkable is an understatement. What it meant to me is beyond words.
