After 2 days of sleeping I ran 6 miles!
Do you ever stop to enjoy the beauty of outside?
For ten years my husband and I used to walk at sunset to catch the changing sky. Many times my husband would get upset because he wanted to walk with me while I kept stopping to get the next shot.
My run is slower than desired because I keep seeing another wonderful sight. This is also the first time to try out my new phone with a better lens.
Why do I mention sleeping for two days before running six miles? This has much to do with scoliosis and the rod holding my spine up. Sitting up at the computer to write these stories exhaust my muscles. Some days I need to give into the pain and rest, which took two days this time.
It is the first time in five years to run 6 miles. The two days of rest have something to do with the ability to run. It wasn’t fast and it was made slower by my desire to stop and take pictures. I would have taken more pictures but my hands froze with the strong NW wind.
It was the first time in a while to see the sun!
I enjoy watching how the wind sculptures the snow and the sun changes the color of the snow!
Growing up in North Dakota there are few trees with plenty of open spaces that become covered in snow, so I learned to enjoy snow sculpted by wind!
It taught me to appreciate flat beauty.
Does anyone else enjoy the pictures?
How many want to go out into the frigged temperatures to take the pictures?
One of the things God is teaching me is to keep Good thoughts on my mind.
Beauty is a good thought!
Philippians 4:8-9 Finally Brothers and Sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable,–if there is any virtue and if there is anything worthy of praise–Dwell on These Things!
What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me–put these things into practice, and the God of Shalom, Peace, will be with you!
Doing this has kept my mind in a much better place. It also helps me understand if my thought is from God or elsewhere. I ask myself if it is a good thought to think on and if not I ask God to fill my mind with His thoughts! Amen.
God Bless each of you who read this. Amen!
I love your pictures, Justine! Especially the sun set ones! The goal to be outside in one year is 1,000 hours. I wonder how many you are outside?
It took me 2 hours to run 6 miles. My goal is to get my house and yard in order this year. My strength is returning and believing for stamina. God is so very Good! Love you!
