Sometimes I Have to Convince Myself

So I know I need to get the exercise in, but lately I have found every excuse not to. Today, I had the time, the weather was great, and there was no reason not to go out and get in the long walk I have been needing. Except, of course, I really wanted to take that nap. 😴 But I didn’t. I put on the sunscreen I bought today, and hit the trail.

it was sure loud out there (as you can hear in the video). The cicadas are singing loud and strong! One even tried to hitch a ride on me! (Nope!) But it was awesome to b3 out in the fresh air and sunshine, praying my Rosary and Divine Mercy along the way, and stopping in the park at the softball field named for my dad.
I can take the nap later.
