This is one of those evenings when I write and write and then delete and delete. The first deletion was unintentional but when I tried to recreate, I just did not have the heart and so that went away too.
What I meant to say is that I took my first walk today in many months and the thing that finally motivated me was that I was hoping with all of my heart that moving my body and being outside under the blue skies and looking up into the branches of the live oaks would calm my anxiety. Also, I've missed these walks in my community, seeing the minute changes that occur as the seasons progress, feeling a part of this tiny place where I live.
Walking was a different experience in that I probably have not taken a real walk since I was at least twenty pounds heavier and I am here to tell you that it's a different experience. I will not expound on this but it is quite true.
I don't feel like anything really therapeutic happened but if nothing else, I got out, I moved, and I was glad to have done it.
One of the camellia bushes in the front yard has popped open a few blossoms.
Hello, my lovelies.
The moon tonight is the silver smile of a Cheshire cat, and the only times I long for a "real" camera are when I'm trying to capture the moon in any of its phases.
Can you see it? It is trapped in the net of naked pecan limbs, witchy and black against the gloaming sky.
That's all I have to say tonight.
Love...Ms. Moon
That's a fabulous photo of the crescent moon!
