Walking For Fun

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

This whole blog may seem redundant but maybe that's who I am.  Real Estate is starting to come out of the tail spin it was in for the last year.  So I have actually been showing property and writing contracts.

In this upsurge of activity I have not given up walking.  What I have found over the last couple years is that walking helps me to renew each day.  Taking time to exercise, along with fellowship with Terri and friends is great.

Lately Terri and I get up about 5am and walk 3 or 4 miles.  On the late nights it can be a struggle but overall it is nice just to be with the one you love.  As Martha says "its a good thing".

Then I usually head back out with friends at 7am for another 4-5 mile jaunt.

Life is wonderful when you decide to live it!  The exercise is good, you release any tensions you have, you are refreshed, the scenery is amazing.  Your attitude for the day is expectant of new, wonderful things.  Your perspective is healthy in balance.  Your ying and yang are just downright HAPPY!

Example:  Yesterday we had an appointment for Kathryn's oral surgery consultation on her wisdom teeth.  Who knew we would be in the middle of hopefully the biggest love connection of the year.  The surgeon was warm, friendly and SINGLE.  He was receptive to meeting our friend.  So now he and his office staff are coming to our house next week for dinner to meet our friend.  There was electricity in the air so heavy you could cut it with a knife.

Now before the appointment, Terri and were having a minor but diverging discussion (she was ticked with me, I write smiling).    Anyway we weren't so caught up in ourselves that we weren't open to fate.   Like wild animals we caught the scent!  Like white on rice!  Ha Ha  so much fun so little time!

Who knew walking could do so much?

Keep walkin,

A New Day Dawning. Live Man Walking!

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

We are all tired of bad news and how it affects each of us.  It seems we have lived with it for too long.  So I propose a moratorium on any more for rest of the month.  So many people I met are wore out and I think a lot of it is the press and media.  Hey folks they make money by keeping you stirred up.  Good news does not sell.

So go out and take a walk the next time you are tempted to read a bad news story or watch the nightly news.  See what a difference it makes in your mood and disposition.

My wife read a devotional this morning and the woman said one time when they had a new tv and when we used antennas they plugged it in to see a grey cloud.  Her husband put a pair of rabbit ears on it and instantly it was a clear picture.  She said that's just like prayer.   Spend some time talking to God and see if things don't clear up.  I think you can hear Him even better when you walk.  There is a devotional picture painted each day if we will take time to watch and study it.

As to the news it is a new slant these days, the worst is over, maybe.   Don't buy into it or will drive you nuts.  Your life is your life.  Don't allow others  or circumstances to frame it for you.

Just take a walk,

Ron
