hike chat write and fall
gravel takes you to the ground
hold hands tight… slip’n slide

Happy Wednesday my friends. Maybe walking and writing isn’t such a good idea, It’s the equivalent to driving and texting and we all know that’s NOT a good idea. I come up with my best inspirations on a trail and I’m usually with someone so I don’t want to slow them down. If I wait until later, poof… it’s gone. I landed hard right on my tail bone and elbow when I was writing about falls no less, but I’m thankfully ok. How’s that for an example of words creating reality! I do need to take heed because as you may remember, I’ve landed on the ground one too many times lately I’m embarrassed to say, and every fall has an impact on your body, especially as you’re getting older. Who me getting older? 🤣🤣 I’m 16 remember? Let’s just say, I’m not getting any younger❣️
The whole hike was like a slip and slide and we both almost fell about 10 times with the fine gravel. We’ve done this many times before but it’s been a while and I think our lack of rain might have something to do with it. We literally had to hold hands and walk at a snails pace all the way down the mountain. Next time I’m wearing my hiking boots and stopping to write if I have an inspirational thought that comes my way.
Maybe I’ll share some of the pictures of the hike on Friday.
Stay mindful and have a great hump day. Thanks for stopping in.

glad you didn’t get hurt. reminds me of a fall i had on the hard ice, landed right on my tailbone at midnight, my lovey wife busted out in laughter and my chocolate lab starting licking me on my mouth! thank god for winter clothing… but ouch!
thanks a lot. Oh OUCH is right Jay!!!
Oh that’s so bad but I do know the feeling when you just bust a stitch when something happens like that but poor you. Oh dog wet kisses are the best but not so much when you are hurting!!! 💖
Yes, it is her response often, knee jerk 😉
yep, i get it.. 😉
Am glad that the fall was not bad Cindy. Take care dear ❣️ looking forward to your hiking pics!
Thanks a lot Rahika!!! me too🌈🥰🥰 appreciate your kindness. Oh awesome thanks😘
Great haiku Cindy! So sorry about the fall, my friend. Maybe try recording next time, it’s easy and quicker. Much love to you.❤️
Thanks a lot Grace! Ya know.. my recordings always are gibberish. maybe I need to new I phone but I have an apple 10..🤷♀️What do you use? 💖
Gotcha. I don’t record much but when I have a quick note or idea.I ask Siri to text it to me, usually through my Apple Watch since it’s always on me.💕
and it works well? 💖
Yup, it sends me a text with my notes. It misses a word here and there but it does the job well enough. Years ago when I was in sales, I used to carry around with these tiny portable recorders for notes. Those work super well but are not as convienient as the watch.❤️
I love that.. thanks I’ll start wearing mine!!!👏👏👏 I had one of those too .. never loved them. 💖
💕❤️💕
💖💖💖
Fine, dry gravel is treacherous. Happy you are not hurt. Do you remember Paul Simon’s “Slip Slidin’ Away”?
I was soooo shocked but yeah, you’re right!!! Glad it wasn’t just me. Oh darn I do I do.. I wish I’d have remembered it for my post.. LOVE that song. Will go play it now. Thanks Tim❣️ 💖💖
Nice haiku!
Glad to know you didn’t hurt yourself much but take care!!!
Thanks Ishita!!! I appreciate it … me too! Thanks will do!💖
❤
Beautiful Haiku, Cindy.
xoxoxo
Thank you Gabriella💖🙏🙏xo
My pleasure sweetheart 🥰❤️🥰🙏
Cindy, take care of yourself. While you are in better shape than most of us, the ground still hurts. You reminded me of a friend who had too much to drink at a teen party at his house for his son (he was supposed to be the adult, but that is another story). They were doing Slip-n-slide and he decided to participate. But, his drunken attempt was more “slip-n-thud.” A broken rib was his reward. Did I tell you he liked to drink? Keith
Thanks Keith!!! You got it.. the ground doesn’t care what kind of shape you are in and wins.
Oh that’s quite the story and ouch ribs hurt.. lol.. i imagine he did like to drink so must not have felt it when it happened so that’s the good news. 🤷♀️🤗🥰
I’m glad you didn’t get hurt too bad. Falling on the tailbone is painful!😬 Falling is not the worst part for me, it’s trying to stand back up. The ground is my nemesis. 🤗
Thank a lot Scott! It can be. In this case my elbow got the brunt of it and thankfully it’s just bruised. I’m so laughing.. getting up is the hard pard. So funny.. keep standing.. xo💖💖
Hey Cindy…be careful during your hikes…if something comes to your mind while hiking, simply record a voice note rather than typing. Looking forward to your hiking photos. Take care.
Thanks for the good idea Taruchaya.. but it comes out in jibberish.. 🤣🤣🤣 you’re so kind!!!
I fell the other day at the grocery store, so I can very much relate. My body is still recovering and I’m feeling kinda old these days. Lol… I hope you’re doing alright. Sometimes after the fall, you realize it was worse than you thought.
oh darn Michele, I’m so sorry that happened and glad you’re recovering but yeah it really throws us out of wack. Falls do cause trauma and I need to remember that. Who us old? lol.. well you’re a lot younger than me. Totally and I’m thinking I need to stop this.. I’m dancing this Friday night so I better be on my toes.. no on my whole foot and not go crazy like I like to.. 🤷♀️😘😘😘
Yeah, I still feel like I’m 16 too. Lol…
Dancing sounds fun. I’ve never really done that in a public place. I’m much too uncoordinated and always amazed by those who can.
It’s so wild isn’t it. Most days I do too.. hahaha.
Oh I started dancing young and danced professionally for a few years so there you go.. Easier when you start young. Oh well dance in the house. This is a wedding… I’m a little reticent with so many peeps. Masking up tho.. xo💖
Oh well that does make a difference… I do dance in the house. It’s good exercise and fun to do. 😉
oh good for you.. I do usually when no one is home.. love that. Great exercise!💖❣️💃
Indeed! 😉

Hi Cindy,
I am glad that all ended well, and you will be more prepared next time.
A great excuse/chance to firmly hold hands 🙂
Blessings to you! ♥♥
Thanks Ana Star.. ya know, Timothy just said that kind of gravel is treacherous and another friend said it happened to her on that same hike so I don’t feel so alone. You’re right though being more prepared will indeed help. You must be busy as you haven’t been writing lately. It was a great chance to remember to hold on to what you got.
Thanks Ana Star and blessings to you as well!!💖💖💖💖💖
I’m sorry that you fell! I’m glad that you didn’t hurt yourself too bad. And yes, when inspiration strikes you have to stop and note it down. Beautifully written, my dear. Take care
Thanks so much !!! me too. And it happens at the darnedest times right!🤣
Thank you my friend!💖💖

Good to know you aren’t hurt…Take care dear Cindy….Nice haiku ❤️💫
Thanks Navin and Glad you liked my Haiku. That was the saving grace… blessing in the cloud. 💖💖💖
Ouch! Sorry you hurt yourself, I hope you’re healing well 🙏 I do tend to get creatively inspired while out walking too, so I totally understand 🥰
It was ok.. just impacts the last falls .. (not a good idea) thanks a lot. Oh I can imagine you do!💖💖
Great the fall didn’t break your spirit. 😊
Ouch! Hope you are feeling better!

I got such a kick out of this cindy. I do remember the slip and slid especially with my son who really loved it. I hope you are enjoying your day, you certainly know how to stay in great shape!!
Oh thanks so much Holly. They were the best and so great you have sweet memories of your son enjoying it so much! Glad you found me again. I was missing you.. 💖💖💖 Awww thanks, I do my best!💖🙏🙏🙏
The slip and slide was great fun in the hot Florida sun. Never forget those days. Take care sweetheart! ❤️
Hope you are OK, Cindy. It’s very hard to remember your age when you are doing something you enjoy! Take care! <3

I left a comment but I don’t think it went through. I loved the post and I am so glad you did not hurt yourself. I like comparing walking and writing to texting and driving. Sweet post, and the video was precious with your daughter. Kind of took a look and after my two last procedure I think this one will be the one for me. I loved all your yoga moves. Your arms look amazing, Cindy, you go girl. Your daughter looked like she was so proud to be working out with mom. Love it. Take care and no more writing and walking. Love you sweetie, Joni xoxoxoxoxoxo
Oh well thanks for leaving another one and taking time again Joni! You’re sooooo right and we really should never do it! I’m so glad you liked the walk and I promise to be better. I wish I got more inspiration sitting.. lol 🤣 Oh yippe, I hope it works for you. Well thanks sweet one as I’m feeling these arms are starting that old people skin creppy thing.. ugh but staying up right is the main thing. I was really fun to do it with her for sure.
Aye Aye captain and my friend whose closer than far and dear to my heart. xoxoxxo love you too Joni!💖💖
You are a darling my closer than far friend. Your exercising with your daughter was precious. We love our children, then we have to let them separate from us, but we always think of them as our babies. Thank you for your wonderful friendship. ❤️❤️
Aww thanks my friend and yes Joni! They will always be our babies!!!! It’s hard to let go but we do it! 💕💕💕you’re welcome and I’m grateful too!
Yes we let them go and they come back as our friends and for advice. Love to you dear Cindy ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I miss you, Cindy! Hope you are enjoying your blogging break! (And I hope you’re staying upright more often than not this week.😁) Mmmmmmmmmmmmwah! 🌞
You too.. I think I’ve visited but see you have one in the hopper so I’ll go there now my friend. Geez, that’s yesterdays newspaper.. ( i think you’ve missed a few) .lol and upright …. that’s a whole other story.. lol..
Hugs and love dear friend. 💖💖💖
