Walking Log 6 October 2008

Even though I have no rain gear, I decided not to let that stop me from going for my power walk today as it was threatening to rain.  I decided to exercise some dogged-determination — words that father had spoken to me recently.  *smile*  It started to sprinkle by the time I got to my starting point for marking my mileage but I kept going.  By the time I got back home, it was raining pretty good (and I was pretty wet), but going out for the walk had been worth it. . .  On the way to the first mile mark, I spotted a turtle on the edge of the pavement.  On the way back, I was thinking about seeing the turtle and was reminded how a turtle is a symbol of dogged-determination.  Slow and steady wins the race and all that.  *smile*  Thank you, father, for continuing to reveal yourself to me and for today’s encouragement.
