If we were enjoying a cup of hot chocolate together, there are some things I would tell you.
If we were having a cup of hot chocolate together on my front porch this evening, I would tell you how much I enjoy living in rural Virginia. This was my drive to Farmville this morning.
There is never any traffic here to speak of. And the colors -- oh my goodness. The peak foliage may be over, but this view will still take your breath away.
If we were enjoying a cup of hot chocolate in my library enjoying a warm fireplace, I would tell you how much I love all the history you can find in Virginia. A major battle took place on this very site during the Civil War.
It was a Union victory just a couple of days before the end of the war. You know, this isn't the only "rail trail" we have in the commonwealth. I think this is a great use of these former railroad beds, don't you?
If we were enjoying a cup of hot chocolate together while watching the sheep graze, I would tell you what running has meant to me since Becky died. I would tell you how cathartic this sport has been to me. I love how it's challenged me to keep running the race of life. Life is never easy, but hardships are always temporary and for that I am grateful.
Well, it's been nice sipping cocoa and chatting. It's so easy to sabotage ourselves. For God's sake, don't overthink everything. Just make it happen. Plan your route, set out your clothes, then get on out there. You'll be glad you did.
