Journey

 

I have a picture that hangs in my bathroom that says, “ every journey begins with a single step.” My daughter Ryleigh reads just about everything now and reminds me frequently that picture is in the bathroom. As she was speaking these words over me again one morning I thought, “well, this is true for many things. A journey begins with a single step, a blog post begins with a single word, a symphony begins with a single note.” I was reminded that thinking of the big picture can often render us paralyzed in overwhelm but a single step, a single word or a single note is doable. If we step into the challenge of taking one movement whether it be for a walk, a blog, a song or wherever else our lives are taking us I bet we will find that once we begin the one we will want to take more than one step, write more than one word, or play more than one note and then the healing is found. We are no longer paralyzed in the overwhelm but walking, writing, singing and enjoying the journey, the process and the freedom life brings when we move. Go write, sing or walk one step and see where the journey takes you today.
