A Mindful Walk

On my daily doggy walk, right now, I’m feeling full of gratitude. Although the ground is snowy and icy, I take each step carefully, with awareness that many people, for different reasons, are unable to enjoy the simple act of walking. 

I look above and even though it’s November, there’s a big blue sky with kind clouds. There’s a beautiful, snowy landscape ahead and I’m in no rush, so there’s time to stop and take in the scenery.

I am reminded of Zen master Thich Naat Hanh’s book title, “Peace is Every Step.”
