Walmart Rewards Reminder

I meant to answer sooner, but the afternoon got away from me and I only just sat down. I did try that route you mentioned, and it was much easier once I stopped overthinking the turns.
At first I kept doubling back because the signs were smaller than I expected, but after the second pass it started to make sense. I also noticed the path feels calmer if you go a little earlier, before everything gets too busy and noisy.
I brought a notebook and ended up sketching a few ideas while I waited, which honestly helped me pay attention. Next time I would wear different shoes because the ground was more uneven than it looked. If you go this week, bring water, take your time, and don’t worry if the first few minutes feel disorganized. It settles into a rhythm pretty quickly after that.

I looked through the notes you sent, and I think the second draft works better simply because it feels more natural to read from top to bottom. The first version had some nice pieces, but I kept losing the thread halfway through and had to start again.
What helped me most was reading it out loud, even quietly, because awkward transitions became obvious right away. I also moved a few lines around and that cleared up the confusion more than I expected. If you are revising tonight, I would keep the opening short, tighten the middle, and leave the ending as plain as possible.
Sometimes the most straightforward version lands better than the one that tries too hard to sound polished. I can take another pass tomorrow if you want. Just send the latest copy when you are ready, and I will mark the parts that still feel clunky or out of order.
