Nature Walks, New Year's Eve, and SNOW
Even before we turned the corner into 2026 and I made a careful list of New Year's Resolutions, I started making long walks a regular part of my day. Sometimes, I just leave on foot from our house and go somewhere closeby, but other times I will drive somewhere, park, and then go for a walk in a brand new area. Either way, I always make sure it's for one full hour. Most days, I listen to 4-5 conference talks about the Atonement of Jesus Christ during my walk. The last one I listened to was #98 out of 305. Slowly and steadily I'm working my way through them all, and slowly and steadily they are changing my life for the better. I loved the reflection of the clouds in this seemingly unimpressive ditch . . . (there's definitely an analogy in that phrase + the photo!) On New Year's Day, Scott and I drove northeast approximately 25 minutes to walk along the banks of the Brenta River. We chose to go over there because we wanted to drop off some homemade salsa to my friend...
