A long walk

Yesterday, I left for a walk with my dog Mollie. I started walking through neighborhoods and then further. Eventually, I was at least 2 miles from home. I walked down a two lane road on the other side of the pasture that we live near and there were horses that would come up to the barbed wire fence near the road. Mollie was spooked by the big animals. I scratched their noses and we walked on. By the time we got to the end of the fence, it was me, Mollie and about 3 horses... walking together. People smiled as they drove by. I needed that walk.. time to think about life.. how I know that it will all work out.. that sometimes you have to go through some difficult times before things get better. I do have hope... hope that I will be seeing the boys. I know that I am missing out on this year, but that it will get better. My relationship with the boy will be even stronger. I know that.

Today, I am off to Dallas for some meetings. I don't leave for awhile, so I have some time here at my desk.

The weather has been nice, although a bit breezy... the air is just so clean.
