Just Walking at the Canal

Saturday mornings will never be the same
I used to rush around getting ready for soccer games and swim meets or cross country runs,
Now it is just me and my husband

I cherish these times just like I used to cherish the busyness of two rambunctious kids
More time for reflection
And enjoying the people we have become

Getting older does that
I used to think that wrinkles and gray hair were to be avoided
Now I like it-even feel like I have earned it.

Now my husband and I groan out of bed
Pulling our walking/running clothes on
I look forward to the sun rising over the water and the
Birds flitting and turtles inhaling the warmth of a well placed rock.


The Savannah River is such a mirror of life.  It has it all-busyness, constant movement, and yet, if you stroll and don't run
You see all the goodies of nature
