I often wake up a bit grouchy ... still tired ... wondering how I'll keep 4 tots happy and surviving life during the upcoming day. I WISH I woke up unselfish and smiley. alas...
Last year a friend encouraged me to go walking with her and it reminded me how much I love the outdoors and how much I need exercise and sunshine. This summer I've tried to go on walks a few times a week. I haven't done well going with neighbors since my family is a disaster half the time and we're always spur of the moment ... when it works for mom and baby tru's schedule.
I just realized that though I woke up grouchy, I felt much better after our morning walk along the Jordan River. At one point 3 of my 4 kids were crying; I questioned my decision to go on a walk today. But in the end, the beauty of nature, the fresh air, the dragonflies, and the sunshine did good things for my mood. All that glorious vitamin D is sunshine for my soul. It helps me conquer the rest of the day.
This is the sight I love to see. Isn't it refreshingly beautiful?
