It’s no secret that major life events can instigate significant behavioural changes. The single, most impactful event in my life has been the catalyst I needed to make a change I’ve been wanting – and failing – to make for a year.
It’s simple, really, but I think it’s the small, simple things that can save our lives, don’t you?
My simple thing? Walking outside every day.
Walking with my husband in the snow.
Basking in some much-needed vitamin D.
Keeping going. Because of course that’s what we must do.
More peaks of this week
This message from my mature and very wise son.
Every moment with my husband, who is a soft, gentle and loving rock.
Jackie‘s ever-loving presence.
Lisa‘s notecard from the mountains.
Something special by email from Danette.
A Found Inspiration in the post from Shelly.
A quote by email from Stargardener.
Suzanne’s soups and cakes (and much, much more).
Steve at Taste’s contribution to Friday.
Last, but not least, everyone who has helped me raise funds for Marie Curie.
Oh, the love!
If I’ve forgotten to mention you, I’m so sorry – I’ve received so many cards, messages and emails of love and support this last week. Know that every connection has touched me and left an impact.
I am so happy you are walking. It’s my complete tonic, healer, life saver, connector, everything. I would wish this for all my friends, for everyone!
I’ve just watched Ruaridh’s video and am in tears – what an amazing young man. His mother’s son xxx
Oh thank you! I am so proud to be his mum and will tell him what you’ve said 🙂
And yes – the walking. We’d seen our walks reduce from every day down to once a week, if we were lucky. None over the last month or so with mum. Our renewed commitment is bringing so many benefits. Life saver – uh-huh. xo
The magic of walking! It feeds the soul and lifts the spirit. Ruaridh’s words are so perfectly said, a young man to be proud of. Sending hugs x x
Thanks for those hugs, Ruthie – and yes, I’m very proud of the young man who is growing taller each day! Aren’t we lucky to be able to walk in this land of Bonnie? xo
What a beautiful man in the making – and no surprise with the input from the very special people who are his role models x
Big hugs to you for saying so, dear Jackie. He is most definitely a beauty! xo
Me too Julie, I have to walk every day or there is something missing. If I walk on my own it helps me clear my head and sometimes it feels almost like a form of meditation. Often ideas are dropped into my head, or if nothing else I come back feeling refreshed. Keep it up!!
Love and light to you xxx
Haha, thanks Rachel – I love the photos of your walks by the beach, especially! We used to walk a lot more than we have done recently, but it’s the commitment to going out everyday that is really changing things up for us. We’re so lucky to have the countryside on our doorstep xo
