I went for a walk today in the woods - only about an hour - along a largish river with a dam, with a small tributary on the side following the path. Pleasant weather, gentle sounds of water, sun poking through tall green trees and the few strangers walking and running around these same gravel paths made me feel relaxed. I sat on a bench and read a book for a while. I felt amazingly peaceful and grateful for being able to do this - have the freedom to enjoy my life - right now.
Home, I feel calm, less afraid of what will happen as I did this morning and for the past few nights. Everything will work out. I can have faith in that. What ever happens with this Process of Re-invention -- whether I succeed or not -- everything will work out. Success is how I define it. Not anyone else. I don't think I really can ultimately fail or not succeed anyway, as I have already learned a lot about myself. I am determined to keep going, to keep running.
Tomorrow... a post from my exercises from "One Year".... been a little lax on my assignments!
