Walking in the dark

I am not a morning person. I never have been and probably never will be. But I do find my life and health is a lot better when I keep a regular schedule seven days a week all year long. Getting myself up and going is a challenge some days. On the weekends I'd rather not shower and instead wear sweats. I will procrastinate showering as long as I can. If I don't have any place to go I won't shower and get dress in non-comfortable clothing unless I have to!

So typically when I get up to walk/run in the mornings it is a trek that is on the city streets of my town where the lighting is the best, or on my treadmill, usually during the winter and snow. We have a high school track which is very nice, but when it is pitch black outside and you are leery of shadows or tripping the availability of lighting other than a cell phone is a luxury. 

Well someone adjusted the walking light timers at our track and all of us who choose to walk in the mornings now have lights. We can now can see where we are walking- it's like the invention of sliced bread, maybe even better! This was walking heaven! A nice walking surface that has lighting and the opportunity to enjoy the scenery, well at least the sun coming up or the moon going down. 

It is the little things in life that make us most happy, be it a smile from someone, a shared piece of chocolate (which I also had today) or a light to see where you are walking! It is all good and very much appreciated.
