Dear December, It’s been ages since we saw each other last, a year to be exact. Here you are again, as steady as can be, punctual, considerate, dependable. You mark the arrival of festivals, holidays, lights, music, plays, parties, gifts, and all sorts of merriment. There’s an excitement that fills the air, anticipation for both…

Fall Walk – I match the leaves!
I match the changing leaves today! 🙂
I walked by myself this morning. I woke up with swelling in my hands and feet, my legs were pretty sore, and I was later going to walk than I planned to be.
I went anyway.
Today I was reminded of a couple different things, the first is that progress isn’t linear. The hilly one mile walk was harder this time. I didn’t jog at all either, I couldn’t. It was a struggle the whole time. The humidity was high and I could tell the difference. The benches along the way taunted me, but I kept going, slow and steady.
The second thing that I was reminded of is that sometimes God’s plan is different than our own. Toward the end of my walk a lady passed me and I noticed the roasary in her hand. I told her is was beautiful and she said that she prays the roasary when she walks.
I listen to worship music when I walk.
Two women, both walking in a beautiful park, surrounded by leaves changing colors, both of us worshiping in our own way. It was a beautiful moment, and it made me grateful that I started my walk later and that I hadn’t been able to jog. If any of those variables had been different, I wouldn’t have seen the woman praying her rosary.

A Blooming Digital Garden
Recently, I discovered a concept that fascinates me: the digital garden, while reading this post about them. Digital Gardens are living websites (or, in my case, a blog post) that grow organically over time by linking notes and ideas together. A regular blog post is written, published, and more often than not, forgotten about. A…
