Happy Earth Day!

I went for a walk on my lunch hour today across the street from where I work. This is a very beautiful lake and it has a nice little road around the lake which is a little over 1 mile. I found it to be very peaceful, spiritual and fulfilling. I listened to a variety of songs on my ipod then I came back to work and ate my lunch. I have had so much more energy since I started back exercising and eating right. I am very sore, but that's a good thing. This has been a Great Day. My boss surprised me with a large pot of beautiful purple tulips and a very meaningful card for Administrative Day. It feels great to know I am appreciated at work.
Take some time today to enjoy a walk or stop and smell a rose or two, you will feel better.

I know that park, but I associate it more with many, many softball games. Enjoy your tulips. It was a nice day to walk outside!

Love it! You have found a beautiful place to walk! I know exactly what you are talking about when you say more energy through excericise and eating right! I did stop to smell my flowers today and does a walk through a train yard count? I was walking fast and started a slight sweat!! LOL!! Doesn't matter, still hit the gym after work! A very good day!

Hey girl....it was so good to hear from you!
And I have to say I love what I hear in your voice here....peace!
I will join you in the area of soreness. My work out buddy has been pushing me hard...these old legs are letting me know that they are awake.

What a great place to walk...a little blessing from God.
I know you will be enjoying those tulips...I have been amazed by the beauty of the ones we have seen as we have been walking through the neighborhood.

Have a great day...it was so sweet to hear from you.
