I took my medium length walking route for my morning walk today, to Alton Baker Park and back. Ideally I would have gone for a longer walk, but I was feeling pretty run down this morning, both physically and mentally, so my medium length route seemed like the best choice.

It was still dark while I was in Alton Baker Park, but sitting on a bench and listening to the river as part of my mindfulness practice was nice. I’m trying to do less suppressing of my emotions and be more centered, but it’s tough.

It started getting light on my way back home. I was playing Pokémon Go, and in the Oakway Center area I encountered another gen 5 pokemon I hadn’t registered in my pokedex yet.

Then I walked through Oakmont Park and then along the sidewalks back to the house.
