Picking up new habits....

"If a man moves confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
~H. D. Thoreau

This quote by Thoreau came into my head while on a walk today. It was incomplete and the part I remembered kept swimming in mind. I continued to go over and over it in my head as if it were a piece of stale chewing gum that I couldn't get going. Finally, after several minutes, I was able to abandon it. It was replaced with the thought that I am where I should be and enjoying every minute of it. The walk, a  new habit.
