As I look back on this past year I know that one of these three things have saved my life: Gratitude, Walking and Affirmations. They have helped me heal and led me to new ways of thinking and living. I am very grateful for the change in my life.
The gratitude keeps me in a spirit of acceptance of what I have and who I am.
The walking just keeps my mind clearer and my body stronger. The visual stimulation that I get everyday from the scenery has helped me get back to my love of nature and it has inspired me to draw again.
The affirmations help me to reach out to the future and to possibilities and to others. I not only affirm good things for myself, but I affirm good things for my family and my friends. My affirmations for my loved ones at this point are manifesting themselves in amazing ways. I am growing in my ability to make affirmations for myself and to make them come true.
My healing has been helped along by all these things and by the help of my family and friends. My healing has been helped by Louise Hay, Deepak Chopra, Ernest Holmes and others. I am grateful for the journey that I began about a year ago. I am grateful that I have been transformed.

As the season progresses into late fall, it is amazing to watch the colors, textures and forms of nature change everyday. It reminds me that nothing is ever static or frozen and that I must shift and move with nature and never get stuck or frozen.
I have also been thinking allot about mind control. I seem to be moving beyond being careful to remain positive to just telling myself that I do not have the time to be depressed or to entertain morbid or self defeating thoughts.
My walk today was very difficult physically. I got a mile down the path and wanted to turn back just from the pain I felt in my legs, but I knew that it was important for my spirit, my emotions, my mind and my body that I just keep going and complete my 5 mile walk.

In the past few days a surprising number of the trees along my route I walk every day have turned yellow and it looks like we might just have a very early fall here in the Northeast. The Virginia Creeper is turning bright red already. Maybe these really cool temperatures we have been having at night are getting to the trees. Fall is my favorite time of year and the change is welcome. It is great to see the incredible colors of red, yellow and green return again and I am thankful to watch the seasons slowly change.
I am grateful that I live in a place of such natural beauty here in the Delaware Valley. I am grateful that I live in a place with such a wonderful public recreational resource as our bike and hike path that hugs the bank of the Delaware River. I realise that in many places I would have to use back roads or ask permission of my neighbors to take such long walks every day. I am blessed and I am thankful for where I live.
