a walk a day…

It’s another foggy morning here, and though I have a bunch of design work to do today, I’m in more of an organizational mood. Dave and I have been talking about all the things we want to do this year, making resolutions (though, not surprisingly, they read more like a list of projects), and trying to get organized. And I’ve been doing the same for my business, making lists upon lists, trying to plot time-lines, and struggling with the dawning realization that there’s no way I can do everything I want to do this year. Why can’t there be more time in each day? And maybe just a little more energy to go along with it? That doesn’t seem like too much to ask…

To keep from getting overwhelmed by the organizational frenzy (and the long list of house projects that I keep noticing every time I take a break from my work), I’ve been trying to take a long walk each day in the open space near our house. It was one of the great things I discovered about our neighborhood shortly after moving in – just about 15 minutes away is this great hilly open space with trails and grazing cows (seriously!). Though I tend to be a big walker wherever I am, having a little nature around really lifts my mood and helps me clear my head. Here are some photos, sans cows. I’ll try to get some cow shots next time.
