I started the year with a Word of the Year, Appreciate! Yesterday morning, Jarret and I did just that. It was rainy and gloomy in the morning. We really needed the rain! Jarret and I decided to take Dexter on a long walk. Although we ended up with a completely soaked Dexter, we got to appreciate that the rain brought more life and color around us.
My boys at the beginning of the walk.
Not our house, just thought the willow finally getting its leaves back was pretty!
Even the Calorie Pear trees are blooming early this year.
Hope everyone is getting a chance to get out and appreciate the weather!
Seriously, one day those girls on my Girls on the Run team make me feel old, then young, then back to feeling old. I asked them what they wanted to be when they grow up. They each give me about five different things, which is great that they want to do so much. I jokingly replied, I still don't know what I want to be (which of course I do, a cape making ninja like I am of course). One girl replies: "You don't really have a lot of time left to find out." Oh, how lovely, 27 years old and not a lot of time left... Yep, all those things you're thinking in your head.. That's what I'm thinking too, but I held it back. :) Haha, so while they all huffed and puffed about running during and after, I came home and ran another 2.5 miles.. Bet you can't do that youngster!!!
Now, while on my run I couldn't help but play Eric Church's new song "Springsteen"... a couple of times completely back to back. I couldn't help it! The weather was absolutely perfect (70s with a slight breeze) and I love feeling like I'm in a movie (you do it too, don't deny it) and this is the part where the camera watches me run while enjoying the weather and trying to forget whatever is bothering me (like children reminding me that I am getting old). Dexter had a good time too because it has been one strange and warm winter and the flowers are blooming already, so play the song (you know you want to) and enjoy the views from today with me!
