I’ve been trying to make sure I go for a walk a few days a week during my lunch break.  Its been good for me to just get outside and enjoy the weather and for the most part I don’t mind having to go back indoors.  This used to be my biggest excuse for slacking on afternoon walks, that it was just too difficult to be forced back inside on nice days.

I was bringing my walking shoes or boots with me everyday from home to do these walks.  I decided, however; that it would be a better idea to get together a bag for at work walking supplies that I could leave at the office.  I did just that.  I bought these fantastic boots for $3.50 at the thrift shop.  My afternoon walks aren’t hikes so I didn’t need anything super fancy. 

I also decided that since it’s getting cooler here in northwest Montana, that I needed a new scarf for my afternoon walks.  I pulled together this little guy with fleece scraps I had in my stash.  It’s oh so warm and soft.  Here it is waiting on the trunk of my car while I get myself ready for the walk.

These afternoon walks have been an absolute blessing of quiet refocus and solitude.
