As I grow older, I find silence is my best friend
It’s quiet, like the flowers I pick, along my walk
It’s a joy I find rewarding, a spark, a godsend
My peace of mind, when I do not wish to talk

This is why my page is called quiet moments with God, my time with him alone and I do not share it, just Him and me. ❤ 🙂

Exactly, I go on my own pace, with camera in my hand, sometimes, and stop to take photos, look up to watch the clouds while walking (in a quiet neighborhood)… ❤

I have a week before going to babysit my granddaughter in Portland. I got to do list but hoping to keep up with the walking for my circulation. I can’t sleep well lately. 🙂

Talking your granddaughter for a walk, with a stroller for her if she’s little, would enable you to take a walk. I’m having sleeping trouble, too. Maybe the weather changes, season changes, any changes LOL

She can walk for half a mile now to the park. I think it’s wonderful for her to exercise. They live in a quiet neighborhood without traffic, and the drivers are very polite to let the pedestrians cross the road. I was half awake all night. Will go to steam room and swimming to see if it help. 🙂
