This morning I took Midnight for a walk.  The bright sun and cloudless blue sky enticed me out of my normal morning slump and we took a walk.  After several days of dark, dreary Autumn days this was a true gift.  It was still chilly enough for a sweatshirt and hood but by the time I returned to my car, the hood was off and I was warmed up.

Midnight, my lab-beagle mix, enjoyed herself too.  She was distracted by new smells and sounds but we kept up a steady pace just walking along the paved pathway.  We walked around a lake, reserved only for wildlife and occasionally a motor less boat will be seen floating by.  But not this morning, just the dog, some geese and a few other early morning walkers were out and about.

This walk lasted less than 1 hour, I didn’t walk fast by any means.  I enjoyed the moment, the scenery, the cool crisp November air.  When I came home I felt good, energized and happy.  It’s been awhile since I have taken a walk.  It’s almost as good as a candy bar.  I think maybe I will do it again…maybe even tomorrow.
