Today I knocked out one of the hikes that I have been wanting to do but procrastinating. It was breathtaking and challenging, and there was a point that I wanted to give up. I had to laugh out-loud at myself as I walked up the steep incline at how my little Sunday adventure had transformed into such an obvious metaphor of the reality I am now facing.
But it did, and it was a good thing. As I made it to the top of the knoll, I was filled with confidence and the satisfaction of knowing that I was up for the challenge right in front of me, and the one yet to come. Not as much confidence (and a lot less grace) as I slid back down the hill on my butt, but I was smiling the whole way.
Also, I have been looking into less strenuous hikes so I can continue to do what I love so much throughout my treatment. I have heard that Hoyt Arboretum has some really great paths. Let me know if you have any shorter, easier, hikes that you love! 
I hope you all had a great weekend and enjoyed the amazing October we are having. I know I did! Remember to take care of you, hug someone you love, say something kind, and give yourself lots of grace.Goodnight my friends!

Hoyt does have some great easy ones! They are tucked away and gorgeous in there!
