Day 23 - Today was all about serving others. I was able to spend the morning/early afternoon with my grandparents up north, helping clean, organize and do things that they are not able to do on their own anymore. I got to spend time with my family, learn some family history and pick flowers with grandma.
Every time I think of my Grandma, I think Dahlias. Here was my favorite of them all. She literally grows HUNDREDS OF THESE!
SO SO Beautiful. After all this work and re-connecting, it was time to head home. I told myself, I would get back to my parents, pack my things and head home where I could get ready for the evenings adventures. I knew I HAD to run sometime in-between then and my evening plans. But when I walked in the house, there she was, waiting to be played with! LOOK AT THIS FACE!!!!!
So I decided, I would take her on a long walk and THAT would be my Day 23! And it was so much fun. Sam had so many smells to seek, so many people to kiss and nudge and so many cars to attempt to run after. After a long week, seeing this adorable puppy and having her tackle me in the yard with wet kisses and snuggles put so much love in my heart. We got about a mile before we were both needing water so of course we decided to have a water fight. I am so blessed.
Today was a good day. I have been reflecting a lot on this challenge, this journey. I have learned so much and have gained a new outlook on health, fitness and especially HAPPINESS.
This song above ended a lovely evening with one of my best friends. This song states " There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning."
And don't forget, " YOU make all things work together for my good."
Day 23 - Done. And I only have 8 more to go!!
