Taking a Walk - Mindful Writing Challenge



the sun warming our faces
we walk a wide boulevard
talking and holding hands
I see us through eyes from my younger years
when I would smile and point and say to my husband
"sweet!"
when I saw an old couple strolling

  1. Oh, that we could see ourselves as others do, and many years younger. Lovely photo too. Cheers from Jean

  3. Awww... :)

    My hubby and I talk quite often these days about how much we've aged. We've been doing that since our big spring clean a few months back when we went through boxes of old photos. That sort of led to my "treatment" on Friday...when I realised a huge mole/mark on my cheek hadn't been there even 10 years ago. Sigh?

  4. Funny how so many years later, we become the sweetness of that older couple we admired when we were younger. A beautiful and fitting photo to go with your writing.

  5. there is something so rare and precious about aging together, what is that saying..."grow old with me, the best is yet to be."

  10. We saw quite a few Canadas fly overhead the other night -- North! But I think they must have been local because it's not a good idea to go north right now. :)

  16. This photo and verse belong in a greeting card; anniversary perhaps? :)
