Joan wrote in her journal every morning, first thing; studying her words, she became inspired to start her day.
Her therapist suggested she start this practice, that it would help her gain awareness about her life’s goals, figuring out a way to solve problems, one day at a time.
Pausing for a bit, after entering her thoughts this morning, Joan pondered what her next step would be.
Gathering her jacket and calling Mitchell, her mutt, off they went for a walk about the woods; how she loved watching him run once they reached the woods.
Taking in the calm lawns of houses on the way to the woods, then met by the woodsy scents of the forest, she wrapped her heart in hopes for a better day.
Joan could not say for certain, but it may have been a mixture of the journal, her mutt, and the walk where she made her best decisions for each day, but she was grateful.

I’d say Joan hit the trifecta! Writing first thing in the morning is so…cathartic. Then, grabbing the dog to take a walk in the woods? What could be more perfect!
