The lake boardwalk was busy this morning. Going with an attitude of positive interaction and a pleasant expression garnered over fifteen positive responses from fellow walkers and joggers. The temperature was 72 and with the sight breeze the entire walk's the atmospheric ambiance was comfortable.The weights came out today after a day of respite from them. Originally, just carrying them seemed enough, but they just started going up to my shoulder, then extended overhead, then back the shoulder, and finally back to my side. It didn't feel strained or difficult so I decided to reconsider at the halfway mark. As I progressed, the imagined benefits seemed more and more attractive. I made the entire loop with the addition of pumping my mini dumbbells over my head through my brisk walk. Small steps can lead to big results.
Walking the lake is attractive, i look forward to it. Even though my day is busy, keeping the commitment to walk is empowering. Upon returning home there is a great sense of satisfaction. I imagine I see that satisfaction in the eyes of those walking the lake every morning. The knowledge that our actions are adding to the positive energy we bring to our day.
