The little things

It's no secret that I spend a lot of time running - both literally and figuratively. Sometimes it seems like I am constantly on the go - running kids back and forth to school or activities or appointments or whatever, running errands, running here, running there...and then the actual "running" when I go and get some exercise and have a good brain dump.

It's amazing how much we miss when we run constantly. This week, I've been walking the boys back and forth to school as much as I can. It's giving me some extra exercise, it's saving gas in the van, it's giving them exercise - and I'm seeing things that I pass by every day that I've never noticed before.

Whether it's the reflection of the clouds in the water, a redbud tree in full bloom, the rising sun, or just a child's curiosity, sometimes the most amazing things can be seen when we stop running.

  1. I miss the red bud trees when they bloom. I've always loved how the flowers just follow tight to the branches. I've been enjoying seeing the dogwoods in bloom here already. I'll be sad when they are over.

I have only two rules - don't reveal anyone's personal information, and be respectful. It's not difficult, honest. Now, go on and play.
