Lace Up Your Sneaks

Henry David Thoreau discovered that “an early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.” There’s something wonderfully meditative about the early morning hours and routine. So what better time for a scheduled walk during this fine season of spring? Squeezing in five minutes each day to stroll around your garden, neighborhood or city park can jumpstart your mornings, especially on Mondays when the start of a work week often seems a bit daunting. It’s amazing what you notice and how you feel blessed rather than depressed before you delve into your busy day. Discover this simple routine, which is easier than the Texas Two Step, especially with the spring season and all its blossoms at least one month too soon! As Hamilton Wright Mabie pointed out, “Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.” It’s popping up all around you, in every garden you pass; spring truly is that season of love!
