Thankful Thursday

I needed a break from the endless series of tasks that trying to make our new place into a home has entailed. So, I rode my mountain bike almost all day.

Storms chased me all day, and at times, it seemed as if the heavens were about to open up onto me. I'd start to hurry toward shelter. That's what I did right after taking this photo.

Then the storms would recede. After one of the storms, I veered off onto a path that I've never taken before as a whim. It was so worth it. The path and the places that it took me are going to be favorites of mine for a long time.

I feel rejuvenated and ready to take on the tasks again tomorrow. I am so thankful that I have this mountain world to explore and make me feel light again.

  2. A new path brings new journeys. Hello from Malaysia. The sky looks threatening but still has lots of light peeping in. You are lucky to have a mountain world to explore with your canine friends. Following you

  3. What a great way to spend a summer's day (and we all need a break away occasionally). Love that summer meadow in your second photo.

  16. We do the same thing when stress hits, go for a long walk, but of course, not in the mountains. It gets us all relaxed and ready to tackle life again.
