a tenth

My circle driveway is a tenth of a mile long...or, around. I'm walking it. Well, not right now, but earlier this morning, and tomorrow morning and the next morning.

It's my new treadmill.

I'm full of excuses when it comes to exercise.

I don't have a gym membership.
The highway's too busy to walk along.
Skye doesn't have the right collar to go on walks with me.
I'd rather sleep than get up.
I don't want people to look at me.
Do I walk into the traffic or away?

On and on they go.

But then, this weekend, I discovered the circle driveway. Well, technically, I didn't just find it, but I started walking it with my niece. And then I wondered how far it was, I measured it, and now here we are.

I'm walking in circles.

Literally.

It's easy to identify the things you don't have. But what if what you have is enough for today?

I love this. Good for you. And thanks for the reminder that we have more than enough for today, and tomorrow.
