Nothing Makes me Happier then Hiking

..Or so it seems.
I have an urge to take a nap.. and thats just not normal for me... but yesterday was so well worth the tired sore stiff muscles of today. God is so good to me. the day was long and felt like a week, but I enjoyed every piece of it.
Went to a meeting at the church at 9 am. one of first things to bring a smile to my face that morning was seeing hot air balloons floating and landing all about.

After the meeting I had time to kill and had brought my dog with me. so we walked through the desert for about an hour and a half. we walked past this little old lady who was also out for a stroll... or on her way home. and as we passes I worked up the courage to get out of my comfort zone and say hi as she passes.. as nervous as I was to give out that small little act, Once I did she seemed ten times more nerves about accepting it then I giving it out. she was fidgety and stood as far on other side of the path as she could..she said nothing. how far we've come.. we are lonely but yet a small act like saying hello to a stranger face to face is hard, yet we will e mail or facebook a complete stranger just because. I'll stive to be better at this.. falling along the way, but I'll pick my self up and try try again.

After my meeting and our long walk I went in to enjoy the church service, I spent the last few moments of it out front with my dog eating fruit loops in the sun listening to the music and singing beyond the doors... it was sweet. met up with friend out front then decided to go to lunch with them. the weather was beautiful and we sat outside...

Then we went hiking! it was a crazy road to get there, twist, turns, fearing for my life! but it was great, three in the back seat plus my dog, who decided he had to sit on the seats to with us and not the floor. we started our hike with the sun out and the weather warm, and by the time we decided to turn back the sun was set, the sky was bright pink and we were cold. the moon lit our way and the constant of moving kept us warm. it was a good night for a hike, great friends to spend time with, and a crazy cool place to be.

Hiking, Biking and Walks.... yea those bring me joy :)
