i'm your sunshine concubine...
the baby is napping... i'm waiting for lunch... and i have the urge to go hiking once more. i really can't say that i hiked all last summer, not like i had intended to, but i did manage to make it outside once in a while. i'd love to make it a regular event of mine to go take a walk somewhere off the parkway at least once a week. gas isn't as expensive as it was last year, but living 30 more minutes away from everything does eventually take its toll. still, i want to at least make the effort. even twice a month is a worthy goal.
i want some fresh air in my lungs and i want to introduce lily to nature, even if she's too young to remember it. but you gotta start young. if you want a child to appreciate being active and loving the world around them, you have to show it to them, and not always have them plopped down with you in front of the computer screen. i am so guilty of that. i don't have much time between waking and working three days a week, so i like to fiddle on the computer then. but the rest of the week... i need something more substantial. i need energy and sunshine and i need to get off my duff and find it.
it helps to have people being active with you, and i have a few people in mind. i'd like to take cassie at least once before she moves to charlotte. i'd like to get to know conner a little bit more. she and ashley are always talking about going for hikes. conner always hugs me when she sees me at work and she even offered to cook me and david dinner one time, and i feel a little guilty that i don't know her as well as i should. i'd like to get to know jess again, too. seems like she and alex are the outdoorsy type.
it's not really about losing weight, either, though that would be an added bonus. it's about using my free time for production and not laziness.
so... here's to seeing if i can open the door and step outside...
