WALKS WITH BABY

For so many years I’ve tried to get myself into the habit of walks after work.  I’ve long believed that having an activity between work and home is very important to leaving the stress of the job behind.  

I finally get to test that theory.  And, it has proven to be true.  

Some days I follow through and other days I don’t. But I have found that for me, even when I feel like the day has totally beaten me down, the walk wrings some of that stress out of my mind and my body.  

I don’t always walk up to speed, the walks aren’t yet aerobic AT ALL. I’m still in recovery from my c-section.  Sometimes I feel so frustrated I have to force myself to stroll. Other days all I can do is stroll and chat about random things with my baby girl. Babygirl always looks to her left and watches the world go by.  Trees and clouds and birds and the wind with Momma talking, whispering and singing.

Some days when I stroll I’m also trying not to cry. Sometimes I stroll and I can’t help but laugh. Some days I stroll and yearn for a lovely bassinet and to be dressed in pumps and a circle skirt. Other days my super hero yoga gear is just right. 

The point? The walk at any distance is just the thing for blackMomma and brownBaby.
