a trek in the woods

When all else fails, go for a walk in the woods. And lately, all else is failing. But at least I did something.
I start out uphill at least so my heart gets going. was all set to go up the road, up the killer hill but remembered that I saw lights through the trees when I got home after dark (which isn't saying much these days) and wondered where the heck light would be coming from.
So, I started out in that direction and before long, always surprises me, I saw what I guess is our nearest neighbor's house just over one ridge. Coulda been that or coulda been the moon coming up. I won't be home till even later tonight, so no telling.
What I did see were coyote tracks along a deer trail and fresh antler rubs in the aspen grove and the neighbors across the street out for their morning stroll through their woods.
Ten degrees out, I didn't linger.
long day ahead so a big breakfast and some fruit later, then extra work after my library gig. Working extra for a girl who's off for the holidays. Maybe more money will magically give me inspiration to lose weight. eat right. exercise more.
It's a nice thought. Off and running in one sense or another.
