This morning I went for a walk in the park...well, actually a walk on the college campus, with my daughter. I've talked about walking the dogs on a daily basis (the pic is actually of my dog Ella, and my daughter's dog, Duie...Ethel was being stubborn that day, and wouldn't get in the pic! LOL). I've talked about loving the physical benefits, and the fact that walking is a great time to think about writing.
This morning, the dogs and I walked with my youngest. She's popping a class this summer, and since she doesn't have a five hundred pound backpack, she can walk. The dogs and I walked up with her. And here's another great reason to walk with your older kids...it's a great opportunity for them to talk to you. She talked about her friends, about her plans for next summer, about her plans for the day when she finishes class... She talked to me. And it was lovely.
At home there are always distractions. Television, radios, people in and out. But for that half hour, it was just my daughter, the dogs and me. And the dogs didn't say much! LOL
Wishing you all a lovely walk sometime this week!
