Day 12

Creek...in the swamp.

Hey there! I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend! I sure am. This morning I finished things that I have been putting off, and boy did it feel great. Then I just felt like being "home" so I went to my parents and took Ryder for a walk. Side-note - holy crap is the barn venue going to be huge! The frame is up and it looks spectacular.

I gotta say, it was so nice to not be counting miles during my walk today. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire walk. I took my time, checked things out, and of course got some dance moves in. When you are trying to power walk to "finish your miles" you definitely don't have time for dancing. What's fun about that???! Ryder and I spent a lot of time in the swamp. It's a great workout to trudge through the tall grass. You really have to step carefully because you have no idea what is under all that grass!

Whenever I go for walks or spend time in the creek, I am constantly searching for treasure. My version of treasure is a little different than everyone else's. In fact I have a 3 gallon bucket full of what you can pretty much call old crap, and I call it my treasure. Idk maybe I was an archaeologist in another life, who knows? Or maybe a pirate. That sounds cooler.

So anyways, since I was on more of an exploratory hike today, I took the back trails through the woods and came upon the logs that are fallen over the creek that we used to play on as kids. Lo and behold, I saw a shiny piece of treasure halfway across the log! Ok it is just an old glass soda bottle, but still, it will go nicely with the old coke bottles i've found ;)

Treasure Find of the Day

This log and I had a bit of a "falling" out a few years back....I kind of fell off of it into the icy water. My entire family thought it was SO hilarious. I thought differently. But they say that comedy is just tragedy plus time, and they are right, because now I think it's funny! Today I did not fall of the log, so we are square once again haha.

I'm going to wrap this up by saying how strong I feel. It's only been 12 days and I see a huge improvement. I am less huffy, I don't get sore anymore, and I feel energized as I am walking. So happy about this!!!

That's all for now. Catch ya later!
Gratefully,
