Although we may show signs of changing on the outside. We can still keep our young at heart appearance. The leaf in the photo is a perfect example. Although the life is slowly departing, the leaf manages to keep the green veins alive. The display is lively at the tips. Giving us reason to see the beauty life has when we become older. We can still shine. We can still make our lives important to others.
Sunday I worked for a few hours, then took off to run an errand and prepare lunch in the apartment. The weather was so nice in the afternoon and I pondered several options for my time. I could have traveled a little north in hopes of viewing some fall foliage or maybe play a round of disc golf. I opted for a walk along the Tennessee Riverpark so I could take pictures and share them with friends and family. I did not walk the entire 6 miles in which I photographed several locations and scenic views. I chose to park at several different stopping points and make brief treks to each mile marker and scenic attraction within.
Over the past two months I have been jogging the Riverpark in the evenings. Each time I would choose a different route to start and end. I have jogged the entire 6 miles of paths that I documented yesterday in photos. My favorite is milepost 4 to milepost 5-1/2. It passes by a swampy marsh to the banks of the Tennessee River.
Gin's birthday was yesterday and I hated that I was out of town on business for the occasion. We usually don't do much for our birthdays together. Most of the time we take a date between the birthdays (a mere 17 days apart) and do something as a combined celebration. Next weekend is the time we chose for this year. I'll have a long weekend to catch up on some chores and spend time with family. Caris is expected in town Saturday and the Grandsons are spending the night Friday. I can't wait for these moments and the chance to add more memories to my life.
Have a good week and I'll see you here again next time.
