Hello !  

You know the old saying , "what a difference a day makes? " Well, that's how I felt about today. It amazed me how a simple thing can have such a huge impact on your life.  

I woke today feeling like exercising - which is a rare thing.  I decided that I'd walk past my treadmill and Stairmaster that double as statues in my office and go up the block in my neighborhood and take a walk in a small park on the intracoastal. It's not a big park and it wasn't a big walk. But it had a punch for sure. As I got out of the car I began to feel happier. When I built up to a steady walk I felt proud. Then when I heard the first sound of the waves smacking up against the rocks I felt home.  

It appears that I really feel good when I have water around me. This park is in my own neighborhood for goodness sake and I only visit it when company comes. Why? Why would I deprive myself of this simple walk in the park that brings me joy, wellness and peace?  

I continued to walk and then I sat and just listened. Day one of many I presume. I plan to bring my laptop there one day and do some writing, or maybe even my sketch pad. But for sure I'll be back and it'll be just a walk in the park, and it'll be just for me.  

Where is your simple pleasure ? When will you return to it?  

Have a joy-filled day,

Fran
