Enjoy a Simple Walk!

The temperatures were for the record books. Folks

appeared from out of the cracks down at the lake.

People sported their green for St. Patrick’s Day.

Most folks were very friendly and greeted one another.

In droves, they balanced on roller blades or whizzed past

on skateboards.  Dogs galore in all shapes and sizes.

My husband and I found a nice picnic table to do

some photography.  The ice has disappeared from the

lake.  This time of year is an in-between time when

snow has melted to form giant puddles resembling

mini lakes.  Ducks and geese enjoyed the water.  It

was as if we had several lakes.  Winds were calm.

Reflections of trees and branches were evident

in the photos adding another dimension of

enjoyment to the warm day.  I voiced a “Happy

St. Patrick’s Day” to a lady clad in green.  She smiled

back and greeted me likewise.  Life’s simple pleasures

are there if we only make an effort to go for that

walk and speak to others along the journey. More

sun and warmth beckon again today.  There is a

spring in my step.  My heart is full.  Satisfaction

and joy fill my spirit as I strolled. Enjoy a walk in

nature and observe new things.  Listen to the birds.

Smile and speak to others as you enjoy a simple walk.
