As the skis are grayer and the atmosphere dripping, many of us reach for comfort food and cozy sedentary activities. This scenario makes it more challenging to find inspiration. Yesterday, I laced up my running shoes and donned my rain jacket to hit the trails. As I dreaded going out in the wet and cold I was excited to catch up with a friend during the mushy hike. The woods beauty sheltered us from the blues of weather change. The trees glistened with rain drops. The greens and golds offered a sharp contrast against the muted sky. We laughed and slogged our way through the mud, feeling more energetic with each step. Upon returning home I was looking forward to prepping for a dinner party rather than wishing I could resume my post on the couch with knitting and tea. That evening our insides were nourished with Rabbit Ragout, hand made pasta and a local grown cabbage salad. After the meal our friends shared some hidden talents of joke telling, singing and even video making. As I laid my head to rest, I realized I was filled with inspiration and enthusiasm for all the wonderment fall offers.
This week I wish you all inspiration and encourage you to share a story that may inspire others. Like getting out into the wet for the good of your body, mind and spirit or finding a comfort food recipe that lends itself to a healthy alternative, for example eating local or lowering the GI index by making it from scratch ~Marnie
The Challenge for the week: Send a hand written card or note by mail to a friend.
Remember you can still earn an additional point if you bring a friend with you for Thursday's meeting.
