"To Find the Air and the Water"




"To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring -- these are some of the rewards of the simple life."
John Burroughs

John Burroughs was an American naturalist and nature essayist, active in the U.S. conservation movement. The first of his essay collections was Wake-Robin in 1871.

"With Beauty before Me, May I Walk"


Beauty from a walk, simple and serene, a restful mindful beauty.

"With beauty before me, may I walk
With beauty behind me, may I walk
With beauty above me, may I walk
With beauty below me, may I walk
Wandering on the trail of beauty, may I walk"

Journal of Beach Walks - Janaury

 





This is a motivational walking journal to keep me up and out to continue these walks.  When it is cold and wintery in Florida (Yes, it does get cold with the wind chill factor!)  I want to stay indoors with a coffee mug or cup of hot tea.

St. Augustine Lighthouse "Christmas"

 

 
Over the weekend, we toured the St. Augustine Lighthouse with friends from Bad Axe, Michigan.  The lighthouse has a lovely Christmas Tree at the beginning of the stair case leading to the top.  Our lighthouse is ranked as one of the ten most beautiful lighthouses in the world.  That is impressive!
