    Time In Prayer

    Morning reflection on a glass smooth Dixon Reservoir

    “It is no surprise that in our loss of connection with Nature, we have forgotten how to pray. We even believe that we do not need to pray.”

    John O’Donohue

    Joan and I met for a walk/talk session at Pineridge Natural Area this morning. We took the shorter route around the reservoir which is not quite 3 miles. They were predicting a beautiful day after yesterday’s overcast skies and rain, so a lot of people were out to enjoy it. After our walk we ate brunch on the patio of a new restaurant called the Chicken Coop, which serves American Mexican breakfast and lunches. We will need to go back and try other things on the menu and definitely include another walk.
    Time in nature is time in prayer.

    Morning Coffee

    Meeting with a friend for coffee on a Saturday morning is always a good way to start the weekend. I’ve arrived early to journal, enjoying the feel of the pen in my hand. Yesterday was a busy day and realized I did not write at all when I opened my journal this morning. We are expecting another nice day here in Colorado. Hoping you have a great weekend!

    An Awesome Week

    A Cool Drink

    It is a wonderful morning. A light cloud cover is keeping it just cool enough for me. Already have a walk in with a stop off at a coffee shop. Yet, warm enough to work up a sweat. My mind is still blank on things to write about and I do not want to be one who tells you what I ate for breakfast. Instead I’ll post and image of what I drank over the weekend. Hope everyone has an awesome week.
