Don’t you just love a good\u00a0experience when the\u00a0blessings fall?<\/p>\n

This morning, while on my hike,\u00a0I received\u00a0one of those\u00a0beautiful showers of blessings.<\/p>\n

As you know, I am passionate about exercise.\u00a0\u00a0And today the neatest thing happened.\u00a0 I ran into my neighbor (Rhonda), the\u00a0gal I met months ago.\u00a0 She’s the one who was traveling to Panama and Spain for hiking trips.\u00a0 Yeah, she’s pretty amazing.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I bumped into\u00a0Rhonda again on my hike today.\u00a0 I’m so glad I did!<\/p>\n

She has a group of neighbor gals\u00a0who meet\u00a0at her house once a week for a 3.25 mi hike to Starbucks.\u00a0 And\u00a0I was invited\u00a0to join the group. I can’t wait!\u00a0 New friends, a hike and Starbucks – Oh Joy!<\/p>\n

She also hosts some sort of class once a week in her home (on the deck overlooking the lake and mountains) where the instructor comes in.\u00a0 I think she said Tai Chi?\u00a0 I hope to start that group this week as well.\u00a0 I’ve never done Tai Chi but she said, no worries come on over.<\/p>\n

There are so many wonderful\u00a0perks and blessings all in one.\u00a0 I don’t have to get into my car and drive for anything, she’s my neighbor!\u00a0 I adore her and connect with her.\u00a0 I look forward to meeting more neighbors and making new friends.<\/p>\n

The gals also meet at 7pm at her house every night for an hour or so hike.\u00a0 Since I prefer spending my evenings with the hubs, I don’t think this is something I would be interested in.\u00a0 But I think this is awesome to have such a great group in the hood.<\/p>\n

Where it stands now, my heart is overflowing with joy at the thought of connecting at least once a week for exercise, fellowship and Starbucks.<\/p>\n

I’m so thankful for the blessings that came my way today.<\/p>\n
