I like my strolls in the park. The early mornings, the solitude. Just being alone with my thoughts and being in the cool of the morning – as cool as south Florida ever gets at 79 degrees at 6AM – helps me start my day right.

Be still my soul, the lord is on your side
Katharina von Schlegal
I always sit next to this lake that snakes its way through the park. It has become my favorite pit-stop on my walks. The psalm says, “he leads me beside still waters.” Reflection, meditation, getting the mindset right for a day of writing, or whatever else I have planned; it all happens here.
Still waters run deep, and so do our thoughts when we take the time to listen to our heart and clear the mind of anticipated problems. In the quietness, it’s easier to tell the soul to be still. The calm in the chaos is necessary for a productive day.
