I have a bracelet that I wear that helps me to stay grounded. It reads, "when I walk the universe walks with me." It is a small way to hear encouragement when I need it, or to remember that I am only a part of something much greater.
Walking is my way of finding focus and taking care of myself. As a mom and a teacher, it is sometimes easy to forget to take time for myself. As I walk I interact with others by smiling, waving, chatting...the small acts that we sometimes forget mean so much.
We need to remember how much acknowledging those around us can to do make the world a better place. As I walk, I think...a lot! I enjoy what I see and hear, I think of what good things have happened that day, I solve problems because my mind clears. On my lowest day I know that no matter what I am facing if I take the first step it will help. Off to put on my walking shoes! Have a peaceful day:-).
