Intentions for 2025

Inspired by my friend Abbie Waters, I have decided to identify intentions for 2025.Something about that word works better for me than does “resolutions.” I can’t articulate what it is. But I’m going to role with it.

Until next year

Despite my best intentions (or at least pretty good intentions), I did not take part in the Salisbury Presbyterian Church 5k Turkey Waddle that raised funds for the Central Virginia Food Bank. Many possible reasons exist for this decision. Bottom line – I need to take better care of my self.

Check out the pictures I took of those who ran, jogged, walked, and waddled.

So much for this year. But next year. Next year. I have already started getting ready. And this time . . . this time.

See you along the Trail.
