Outdoors Everyday Challenge Day 21-Ritual
Twyla Tharpe wrote a wonderful book called The Creative Habit. In that books she talks about the importance of Ritual. There are so many things in my life that I feel if I could ritualize them they would fall so easily into place. Twyla's book is about building creativity into your life, but perhaps it's a good lesson in building outdoors time into a daily ritual too.
When my kids were in school, it was easy to build an outdoors ritual, but now I don't have that forced activity any more I'm having trouble finding a groove. I do get out everyday, honestly I go a little coocoo if I don't, but it doesn't flow easily into my day the way it used to.
How have you ritualized outdoors time? Maybe you have a habit I can borrow.
Until tomorrow, have an outdoorsy day.

I'll leave you with this story of community and hope
I would like to talk about something I witnessed in town over the last several weeks. As I mentioned previously, we had a Polar Vortex. It was too cold to walk to the grocery store, let alone just sit outside all day. Which is what a member of this town had been doing for months.
My Winter Walks
I am just back from a walk along the country road where I live, a road bordered by fields and stands of trees. My intention was to get some exercise, which meant covering some distance at a reasonable pace. My intention is important, as it affects many other choices: type of shoes, clothing, walking poles, water, binoculars, camera etc.
Good For You Momma
After stopping for the dogs to poop and stopping to change Jett’s diaper (twice) we were off!! We walked through a sunny meadow, climbed up the frozen cascades and returned via a side trail that skirted the riverbank. Bliss.
