ABBA
I have been really good lately at walking everyday..if it's not out in the bitter cold it is in the basement on the borrowed treadmill. I am up to five miles a day and it is beginning to become pretty easy...yes I said five miles...as I walk I find myself looking at the ground and talking to myself...out loud! By the time I get home I have a clear mind, I feel good, and nothing sounds better than a tall glass of good ol' water. Today felt so good that I headed out without any gloves, a scarf, or my cute ear muffs. As I was walking the old Ipod switched from a great country song..to The Best of ABBA (a birthday present from my brother when I was 19)...are you SeRiOuS...I totally forgot that this was on here..and then...what?...was that a little skip in my step?...then all the sudden the thumbs came out jazzy like...out to the right..then to the left...and then as I passed Maverick it was as if I was on Broadway...slide ball change...jazz hands..jump in the air and landed on my knees...smiling and staring at the heavens above!! All right there on 12600 South for everyone to see....oh ABBA...no not really..yes a little skip in my step..the rest was in my head but wouldn't that have been great..all the sudden back up dancers and everything..and then as the song ended...as if nothing happened me continuing on with my five mile trek...oh so silly...but as the song ended I lifted my head..smiling..and noticed the blue skies..what a great day...something so simple as a great song, a nice walk, and warm weather can make you enjoy and be so grateful for the life that you have, for the husband that provides selflessly so much, and for the babies that I just know LOVE me unconditionally! It was a great day for a walk...
