I am enjoying my quiet time outside this morning, with my journal and a cup of coffee, after returning home late last night from a two-day adventure with my college freshman daughter. We left fairly early Tuesday morning and drove up to Skyline Drive. My brother gave Claire a national parks pass for her graduation present along with some books and maps. We hiked South River Falls which is a four and a half mile round-trip hike, all uphill on the way back, but well worth the view at the bottom of the 84 feet falls!
We spent the night with my Mom and Jim in Elkton, Virginia, A.K A the Valley. Then we got up early and went to JMU to attend the summer springboard orientation for new students and their families. I am incredibly grateful and thankful for spending time outdoors and experiencing the beginning of Claire college life with her.
Upon arrival at home I immediately began to feel anxious about finances which happens often. However, this morning's devotion brought instant peace and the reminder that everything is going to be okay.
Although I am sitting in my porch date chair the only one out here with me is Charlie as my porch date has requested that Claire tell him about her day yesterday. I believe she is lucky to have a father that wants to be involved in her life and the porch date can't wait until later today!
Get outdoors!
Karen
