I finally made it.\n\nSix years of consecutive 10,000 steps days. \n\nit has been a long journey.....keep on stepping!

Went walking with my daughter last weekend. Just very early for much to be out.....did find some Trillium and Mayapple in early stages......snowed a couple of days later......spring in Tennessee!

By the grace of God I have been accident (well debilitating accidents) free and healthy enough to walk 10,000 steps a day for 1900 days in a row. A lot had changed in those 1900 days, two battles with cancer for my wife, losing my dad to ALS, a worldwide pandemic, and life in general. So embrace the day, good or bad. The sun will rise again tomorrow and things will change, they always do.....and if you are fortunate enough to be able to move, get out there and walk, it's good for your body, mind, and soul!

Had a pretty good day. Forged a really nice bag of golden Chanterelles, although this may be the last of them. Picked about a gallon of blueberries and found a bird's nest, I think it is a Mockingbird (which is the Tennessee State Bird) based on the eggs.....and on the work front, managed to get a lot of bushhogging and mowing done for my mother.......and it was way behind!
