Time is all Irreverent in a world of eternity....

So today after 6 years I am opening up my blog.  So much has happen.  Yes I did make it to North Salt Lake on my walk about.  My knees continue to get worst, so on December 2018, I got my left knee replace.  Then 2019, I was working as a Family Service Worker at Davis Head Start, moving into a new home and planning to retire.  January 2020 came with me reacting with high anxiety.  It was as if my inner self had a chicken little running around yelling the sky is falling.  Then Covid-19 came into the world with the shut downs.  I was working from home and chicken little was still out of control within me.  Summer came, I had my mammogram and I was diagnose with Breast Cancer, non invasive.  It was at this time I retired to deal with my health.  As I was recovering from surgery and radiation, I came down with Covid-19.  It wasn't fun! Then in November, I was diagnose with type 2 diabetes.  2021 could not come any sooner.  I'm happy to report that I am doing so much better! 

I am posting a clock that is at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.  This clock really spoke with me!  It reminds me that we as humans try to measure time but in reality time is irreverent when we live in a world of eternity.

Happy Birthday to me...It's my birthday month...Yay for me or is it ouch!

In my early 20's, I was hiking, biking and just being active all the time.  Oh the memoirs of all the fun activities that I was doing....I remember hiking 50 miles in the backcountry of Yellowstone park.  I remember that I wanted a backpacking tent instead of a dining room table for our wedding gift.

Now I am 62 and 40 years later, my goal is to walk 50 miles to Salt Lake.  It feels a little bit different being 62.  I have a little bit more weight on this body and I have osteoarthritis in my knees which makes me say "ouch" as I walk.

On this day I walked from West Hill Field Rd to Layton Parkway....I'm almost to Kaysville...this is so doable.

There is a common thread as I walk in my 20's and as I walk in my 60's, that this world is  BEAUTIFUL and WONDROUS .  No matter what my age, I pledge that I will approach each moment with fresh eyes and an open heart.  I'm not defined by my past pain or my fears for the future, I draw from the wellspring of NOW, this is my prayer.  Namaste

Walking on St Patrick's Day.....looking for that pot of gold....

I'm walking on St Patrick's Day, hoping to find that Leprechaun with his pot of gold. 

Walked from Antelope Dr to West Hill Field Rd, a few steps closer to Salt Lake 

Did not find that Leprechaun and his pot of gold, but lucky for me I found that Irish man.

 Love you John McFadden.

Back in the Saddle.....

I'm back in the saddle...after being throw off with colder weather, ear sinus problems and just not finding the time I got back on with my walk.

It was nice to feel the air and the sun and placing one foot in front of the other.....

Even though this tree is still wearing it's winter coat...I know it won't be long that it will be showing it's green leaves.... I love nature with all of it's beautiful seasons.

Here is my knight in shinning armor....Thank you John for being there for me, Love you!

Started at Center Street in Clearfield and ended after Antelope Drive in Layton.

I'm hooked up.... What is this fit bit?

I'm now hooked up to a fit bit!!!!  I'm not to sure what it is.  My first day wearing it my app on my phone said that I was only active for 8 minutes during the whole day.  What!!!! that means that I am slowly wasting away.  No wonder I feel like a slug, a sloth, a major couch potato....THIS IS NOT GOOD.

BUT NEVER FEAR I AM NOW HOOKED UP AND I NOW CAN MONITOR MY ACTIVITY DURING THE DAY.  I still have a major learning curve on how it all works.  I'll keep you posted on what it all means.

Another Hop, Skip and a Jump to Salt Lake....

Zoe one of my biggest followers. . . She wants to come with me to Salt Lake.

We started at Steed's pond, Before the walk Zoe wanted to do a Rocky pose just like I did when I was at the pond last time.  So cute!  Zoe is only 7 and so willing for an adventure with her grandma.

I can not tell you the love that I have for this cute girl.  

Every step was just an exciting time.  

Love being her Grandma!

When we made it to the end of this leg of our walk it was dark and it took a while for Megan (Zoe's Mom) to find us. Megan was more upset not being able to find us then we were. 

Zoe and I felt like this walk was one big adventure.

Zoe wants to be a follower!
