As I've commuted back and forth to work the last couple of weeks and just driving around my city, I have marveled at the natural beauty of the Autumn around here. The colors have been nothing short of majestic. Today, I decided I would go on a hike and really take in the Fall.
The temperature was cool today, about 48 degrees. The sky was partly sunny. I put on some long running pants and a long sleeve athletic shirt. I grabbed my Ipod and went to a local park. I played my tunes while hiking on the public trails. I walked. I jogged. When I was sure no one was around I even sang and danced a little to whatever song was playing in my earbuds. I walked over a bridge and stopped to look down at the water below. The colors of the leaves reflected beautifully off the water. I walked some more. I ran some more. I took in the awesome beauty of nature. It was invigorating. My hands started getting cold as the sun began retreating. I headed back to my car and drove home.
I turned the heat up and curled up in a chair and watched a sappy Christmas movie on Hallmark network. It was sweet. I ate an Orange while I watched. About 8:15pm I went out to dinner with a friend and afterwards we went to Starbucks for a warm latte. I feel like I lived life today. Now I'm going to bed with pleasant thoughts in my head. Life is so precious.
