October 19

At some point this past spring (or maybe it was last fall - the months really melt together these days), I suggested to my friend Jen that we take a walk on a weekday morning sometime. She has a big, rowdy golden retriever and I thought she might like some human company.

Today we finally got around to taking that stroll. We walked with Rusty the dog for a while, and then when he got tired of being out, we dropped him off at her house and set off for some human-only stepping.

And it was really, really good. We talked about lots of different things, including our kiddos and school and faith. (Her son is one of Isaac's baseball pals.)

So this evening I am grateful for her and her good heart and for our time this morning.
