Well, maybe I am a little dazed today but I don't think I'm confused. It's been a busy week, a joyous, victorious week, and an exhausting week. My mind is everywhere and nowhere. I can't seem to focus my attention on any one thing because I've got so much going on.

In addition to my 1.2 mile morning beach walk, I walked about 2 miles to the Thursday farmer's market in downtown Painesville with my son, Mike, yesterday. We had a great time and we bought some really yummy fruits and veggies. It was SO hot - especially walking back to Mike's house. I thought I would drop from exhaustion and when a squad passed us I wanted to thumb a ride. But I MADE IT! I felt so victorious when we reached his house. I really pushed myself. I almost passed out, too. I could see the darkness trying to envelope me as I tried to get my heart rate back down, but thankfully I was able to remain consciousness!

So this morning, I pulled out a fairly new pair of tennis shoes that I had only worn about 3 times and headed to the beach for my usual morning walk. WOW! What a difference a pair of shoes make! I was still sore and tired from all of yesterday's walking, but I was invigorated and managed to walk most of the soreness away. I'm going to tell you more about all this walking in September.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, there's a SUMMER party going on! Have you been journaling? Where are those summer pages? Don't be shy! Let me see what you're doing. Post you summer page links HERE!

I haven't heard that song in a very long time. Thanks for posting it and for the smile! I wish I lived near a beach as I would walk everyday too! It must be so peaceful! Hugs to you.
