Today I am grateful for wandering. So often, we are stuck in our routines, having to get through our to-do lists. How wonderful it is to wander off the routine, or stray away from the path we are walking and wander wherever our hearts and minds want to take us. It opens up so many opportunities for new discoveries, new teachings, new experiences. How about you? Do you ever let yourself wander?
Blessings,

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit. Hope you enjoy your stay. I blog here on Monday and Tuesday. This blog was created at the time my memoir came out, in February, 2009. Its motto was: creating a life of inner peace and self-acceptance from the depths of despair.

I don't work a 9-5 job, so I love being able to wander off almost whenever I want to - it really helps with the inspiration for writing! I feel very lucky.
I've been wandering for years. The journey is all the more interesting because if it.
Great W word.

Right now, I'm sticking to the path like crazy, but I'm making some time to wander soon!
Oh, yes, I love to wander. Don't like getting lost, but I do like stepping off the path now and then to discover something new. :)
Hi Karen .. I used to wander and loved it - and will do lots more in the future. For now - I wander in my mind .. which actually has been very interesting and stimulating to my little brain!
So I can see both sides .. and in due course I will experience even more, and be able to relax into the discoveries etc ..
Cheers and thanks for coming by - I haven't forgotten .. just had connectivity downtimes and generally trying to keep up! See you soon .. Hilary
One of my favourite wanderings is wandering over here and checking out your wonderful contribution to this A to Z Challenge.
I have been enjoying your Gratitude theme. I like your choice of words for expressing gratitude - I relate to them and find them both enlightening and encouraging.

I'm going to go wander the weekend after the Challenge, that's for sure!
Wandering is my favorite pastime Karen. I used to be a by the book kind of person until I discovered how much there is to see and experience by wandering off the beaten path. Nice post! :)

Hello dear friends,
It's now 5:15 pm and I left at 8:30 this morning to sing with Sugartime. Then lunch. Then shopping. I am exhausted. Thanks so much for the lovely comments on wandering. It's fun to see how everyone feels about a concept. I'll catch up with everyone tomorrow.

Good one! I love to wander - whether it's physically, or just in my head! So much fun :)
You know, I haven't done nearly enough of this lately. You've given me a great idea. Thanks, Karen.
Wandering is highly underrated.
