Well, it was rather tough getting up this morning although it shouldnt have been since I took a two hour nap yesterday and I took yesterday off ... no running, no exercise. I just felt like resting my body.

After my run I enjoyed a nice warm breakfast of fresh spinach, 1/2 yam and a handfull of almonds and water.

Todays run was a pleasure. In fact, as I think of it, I am reminded of that song called "Daydream", by the Loving Spoonfulls. Take a look at some of the lyrics.

"Daydream"
what a day for a daydream
what a day for a daydreamin' boy
and im lost in a daydream
dreamin bout my bundle of joy
and even if time aint really on my side
its one of those days for takin' a walk outside
i'm blowin the day to take a walk in the sun
and fall on my face on somebodies new mowed lawn

Cute, isn't it? I thought of it because during the run I was able to let my mind drift off to various things, but something in particular that I thought of were trees. How often do you stop and think about trees? I thought about how old various trees were and all the benefits of trees....shade, and oxygen and fruits and nuts, and homes and shelter for animals, a place for territory markings (LOL) for some and the list goes on and on. Of course these are benefits of LIVE trees. I didnt want to think about the benefits of them after they been cut. That list is even longer, but in some ways I felt badly about cutting them down. LONG LIVE THE INTERNET...THE GREAT TREE SAVER!

I had a friend who loved trees. She used to sit underneath them and wonder aloud about how old it was, and what it's been through. It is fascinating to consider the life of a tree. Who planted it and why? I like thinking of the symbolism of trees, "Like a tree planted by the water", I shall not be moved! You got that right.

Well, I am off to start my day. I feel good about the start of my morning. I'm looking forward to another one...tomorrow....Lord willing.

One Bridge....
