Go For A Walk With Susan

Kitykity takes a walk every evening with her three-legged dog. A couple of weeks ago, she described her walk in vivid detail.

I love her calm and almost stream of consciousness description of her walk:

“It’s really getting darker now, and though it should be cooler, it’s sticky and hot after the day’s rain. To our right is one of the parking lots for cars, and to our left is a volleyball court and a basketball court. There’s actually three basketball courts, two more are off beyond the parking lot, and they have painted the ground of them all now–red on one, green on another, blue on the last. My guess is that kids can say, ‘Meet me at the green court.’ I never was really good at basketball. Now we’re walking up towards the baseball diamonds now, and the t-ball diamonds are beyond that. To our right is the junior high school that, if we stay in town, and I hope we do, our kids will go to one day. They’ll be able to walk right out our back gate and onto the school grounds.”

Next time you go on your normal walk, run or bike ride, look at everything as if you had to describe it in this much detail the next day. You’ll find you’ll have a whole new experience.
