There’s a question that I ask myself every morning – “Do I feel refreshed and rested?” This is how I ascertain if I am allowing enough
time for sleep and to determine if there are lurking stressful thoughts that
are diminishing my rest.
Sleep is a critical step in the regeneration of energy, but
I also take energy “refreshment breaks” throughout the day. One of my favorite
refreshment break is to take short walks in the morning where I can feast my
senses on the natural surroundings.
This past Monday morning I took my two Westie buddies, Duffy and Angus,
on a walk by the Greybull River in Greybull, Wyoming. I love the golden leaves,
the flowing water, the sun just about to peak over the rock bluff on the other
side of the river, the voices of the elementary school children in the
playground prior to the start of their school day, the whistle of the nearby
trains, the feel of a slight breeze indicating the start of a fine autumn day.
Ahhh…. A deep breath of gratitude and joy…… Refreshed!
