Am sharing the poem I wrote for the first theme of “health” for the January Writing Challenge. For me walking in nature, hearing the sounds, taking in the beauty, and being silent to listen to my inner guide are the times I feel my best. It is my time to connect my body and soul, refresh and recharge!
Lace Up Walking Shoes
Lace up walking shoes
Nature calling time to go
Feel the morning glow
Walk with a purpose
Step by step getting stronger
Growing from within
Whole body energized
With every breath of fresh air
Filling up my cup
Whispers from nature
Speak to me, giving guidance
That I am seeking
Cares and woes take flight
My spirit soars, soul revives
As my body thrives
So lace up those shoes
Listen to nature’s calling
Trail is waiting for me

Linda I like this it’s funny you talked about Nature. I took a walk in our forest preserve near our home. I was walking and just stopped to hear the squirrels eating their nuts and scurrying around the trees and I gave gratitude to God just right there it was amazing. And I now understand how you and Graham feel about walking amongst the trees or trails. It was cold and it felt so good to be there. Thank you for sharing.
I love the positive energy of your words and your journey. Thank you. 🤗❤️
