The 3rd of May

Today was a chiropractor day, tomorrow the occupational therapist.  It was a breezy spring day.  Many trees are blooming and the tulips and daffodils.  The lilac will be blooming soon as well.  According to Map My Hike I logged 3.9 miles today.  I took 4 walks.  3 of them were back and forth to parking places for my car and 1 two mile walk, just because.

I had a long talk with a family member from out of state who keeps trying to dissuade me from hiking the trail.  After taking the time to let me know that there are murderers out there and how unprepared she thinks I am she lets me know that she is glad that I am following my dreams.

I am unprepared.  Things didn't go the way I had hoped for me this year.  That gives me quite a bit of time to become prepared though.  Truth is, I will never be completely prepared and I am okay with that.  There are some things that we can only do so much to prepare and then we take the rest as it comes.  Isn't that what life is all about?  There is only so much we can prepare for or have control of.  I certainly didn't prepare for this injury.  

My library recently started offering a bunch of free online courses.  I signed up for 2 today, bird watching and geology.  I hope I remember to follow through with them.  I finished the introductory class for both and took the quizzes for the geology one.  The Any do app on my phone is set to remind me but I sometimes snooze that for too long.  Any how, learning new things is my happy for today!
