Seven Points, Nashville

This afternoon, Penny and I trucked our bikes to the dam where there is a trailhead to the 50 miles of Greenway Trails that interconnect the city. This was the Stones River trail that follows the river which was dammed to create the reservoir. We rode towards town for about an hour, rested for awhile and then returned to the truck. It was a paved trail through the woods along the river, at one point above the river on a wooden deck. It is good to see that there is so much momentum for this project; are continually adding new trails.

In the evening, the Nashville NPR station kept us entertained with A Prairie Home Companion, Fiona Ritchie playing Irish tunes, Bluegrass Breakdown, and American Routes. We feel to sleep with the radio still playing.

How blessed are we to be gifted with this life style? We are grateful for our adventurous spirits, the health and the means to live with the freedom we have. Trusting in the providence that helps us along the way, we accept vulnerability that is ever present. We have found life to be abundant beyond our dreams. Heaven can wait; life is good!
