Our morning routine used to be that I walked the dog around 6:30 am every school day. I had a lot of time to think on those 39 minute rambles through the neighborhood and a lot to observe, too, since we walked in every season, regardless of weather.
It was those walks that gave this blog its name: all the random thoughts and observations seemed to beg for a home. Since then, much has changed, including, sadly, the dog, and in recent months, Heidi has taken over the morning walk, so that I can fit in 45 minutes of yoga and meditation to begin my day.
I really appreciate the mindfulness, but this evening when yet another interruption in our usually predictable days had me and the dog taking a nice 30 minute jaunt through the quiet streets around our home, I realized how much I miss that time.
I guess we’re just going to have to find an extra half hour somewhere— at least every once in a while.
