There's a hiking trail near my home that I've walked countless times. It's familiar path surrounded by oak trees and natural chaparral, it's easy to access, and welcoming to all.
Even though it's familiar, today's walk brought unexpected things to notice: a brilliant bluebird, a couple brave turkeys who meandered onto the path, EMT's doing a fire drill, and surprisingly, a car navigating the trail!
That was a first. 😳
Finding the joy in the ordinary inspires today's activity.
