My Morning Walk

Yeah, it's been nearly a year since I last posted.  We're not going to get into that.

TJ started preschool a few weeks ago.  His school is less than a mile from our little four square, so we walk to school each morning.  It's a lovely walk through our neighborhood and local village and one I'm beginning to enjoy quite a bit.  I get to have a nice chat with TJ on the way there and a few minutes to enjoy the fresh air and my quiet thoughts on the way home.

Today I was thinking that a few years ago I belonged to an online group where we shared our thoughts, goals, plans, joys, and concerns for the day each morning.  Since I left the group (for reasons that aren't important here), I haven't really done that and I've realized I've missed typing it out.  It was a good way to start the day.  Sometimes it got things off my chest that I felt were important and once I typed them out realized they weren't.  Sometimes it helped me organize my day.  Sometimes it was simply a nice way of saying "I saw a beautiful sunrise this morning."  (Which TJ and I did today).

So...this morning's post.....

Today I really should get off my bottom and go to the grocery store.  I've been putting it off the last two days with the excuse I still don't feel well.  And I really don't yet feel well (cold and ear infection for the last 3 weeks), but it needs done.  I also need to go to Once Upon a Child to find a black shirt for TJ's Darth Maul Halloween costume.  And since Junebug puked on my bed last night, I've got sheets and a comforter to wash today.

TJ's curiosity was in full peek this morning.  He had to investigate everything and I mean everything on the way to school this morning.  He left no stone unturned.  I wish his teachers good luck.  They are going to need it today.

And the sunrise was stunning this morning.  There were a lot of black storm clouds overhead as we left the house, but as we walked and the sun rose, the storm clouds moved their way across the sky.  The sun came up behind them turning the clouds to a lovely deep pink.  It even caused TJ to stop to look and appreciate it.
