i have never been a morning person, but today i got up at 6:30 and met lisaann in front of the community center at 7, hands in my pockets and sleep in my eyes, and we walked. we walked around the reservoir, saw a boy who looked like a guy i used to work with and a woman whose shirt was too big and another guy who wore shorts that were so flimsy they blew in the wind. one man said good morning. “hi,” we chimed back.<\/p>\n
through the diamonds of the chain link fence, i noticed an untouched patch of grass and hundreds of dandelions peeking their heads out. a hundred weeds to one person is a hundred wishes to another. i wanted to blow each and every one, watch my wishes rise to the sky and fly away.<\/p>\n
once around the reservoir is 3 miles, or 45 minutes, or the latest gossip shared between friends. perfect.<\/p>\n
and now it’s 8:30, the time i normally am hurriedly assembling myself for work. instead, i’m drinking a glass of water and deciding which shoes to wear. i feel pretty good, so good that i am already looking forward to my next walk.<\/p>\n
there are adventures to be had before 9am! who knew?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
