I’ve started taking walks in the morning, spurred on by my doctor’s advice. I asked during my last checkup if I should start training with weights to prevent osteoporosis, and my esteemed physician of 25 years replied, “No, you’ll probably just hurt yourself.”
So in the mornings I grab the only Boston garb that’s suitable for our weather in Southern California and step outside.
Around the corner there’s a park, and as I rambled I spied someone of very small stature, in a helmet, following their father who was carrying a bicycle with training wheels. The young one was singing, a veritable carol to the sun. I hastened home to two cups of coffee, the paper, and some restorative carbohydrates.
I walk my dog at 7 a.m. every day. Being outside before most folks makes me want to sing. Mornings are so beautiful and there is no way in hell I’d get to see them without Duncan forcing me out!
Duncan of the Dawn! I have an 80 year old neighbor who walks five miles a morning and starts before first light, I’m lucky if I get in a mile 😉 . xox, V
GIVE ME THAT ENTRANCE and I will DANCE and SING FOR YOU!!!!!
How about I give you tea and a stroll by…
I love the thought of a little person, in a helmet no less!, singing to the sun. What a beautiful way to start the day.
