I woke up from a nap this afternoon feeling sweaty, hot, and gross. Despite that, I wanted, NEEDED, to go on a walk. I had to get away and think. To just let my thoughts (and emotions) run away.  And what better way to do that than to go on a walk! In the warm sun!  

I didn't care that the sun was shining brightly. I just wanted to feel alive. I wanted to feel someting other than sadness or loss or hopeless regarding a certain situation around a certain person. I would much rather feel inspired by natured or uplifted by my choice music, or even tired from walking so darn much.

I'm glad I walked away those feelings and replaced them with gratefulness and acceptance. It took more than 10,000 steps, but I did it.
