Walking, working and fun

I was up and out at 5:30 again this morning.  The weather was very pleasant with a temperature of 71 and low humidity which made for a very nice walk.  I walked my connect the path route with a few small modifications to it.
A hand full of people out, most of them walking dogs.
I saw a fox which looked healthy with a pretty red coat and a white tipped tail run across the path in front of me.  It scared me at first because it surprised me.  I think he was just as surprised as I was!  I saw some kind of a hawk swoop down in a back yard, heard the usual birds singing and a woodpecker high up in a tree.

I didn't see them today but the workers were out repairing the footbridges along the paths because every so often I would see an old plank replaced with a nice new one.

I took a walk past the new pool being put in to see how far they have gotten with it.  I was surprised to see how far it has come. 

It was so nice to be out walking in cooler temperatures and I walked 6.9 miles.

*******************************************

I am reading a book with four novels in it by Wanda Brunstetter about the Amish.  I'm about half way finished with the first one.  It's pretty good.  The four books are:

• Going Home
• On Her Own
• Dear to Me
• Allison's Journey

I'm home during the day today doing more chores around the house.  There is no end to what needs to get done, but I enjoy keeping my house nice and clean.  If I do some work each day, it leaves plenty of time for the fun stuff too. 
So now I think it's time for me to go and do some of that fun stuff.  : )

Hope your day has a good mixture of work and fun in it.  I think we need both to be happy!
A smile from me to you.
Happyone : )

We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result 

of getting something we don't have,

but rather of recognizing and appreciating

what we do have.
