The rain is falling and it is a welcome relief. We have been waiting for warmer days and yesterday we got our wish as the temperature was 80 degrees. It was nice to be outside walking yesterday, but sleeping last night proved to be a little uncomfortable. The heat made the second story of the house an oven. We were holding off on the air conditioning, as the temperature this time of year is up and down. I am thinking that the air conditioning is going to get a trial run today, as I have been slow baked enough. Even Laney was panting as there was no breeze.
Speaking of walking outside, I just read a nice article about a cancer patient who started running in half marathons while being treated and during remission. She talked about the benefits of keeping the body strong and the benefits it has for your mental health. Even though I am not able to run, the walking my husband and I do has proved to be very beneficial. We both feel stronger and happier. We have always walked together in the evenings, but since we are participating in competitive walking we are pushing ourselves to walk faster and farther. It is amazing how much better the body feels with exercise and how it mentally helps you handle stress. I am gearing up for that 10k and hoping for another medal to add to my collection. I am also extremely happy that my hero husband is still here to walk with me.
Yesterday as Laney and I walked in the neighborhood, I noticed that someone had knocked mailboxes over. This seems to be a recurrence of vandalism. People be aware it is a felony to mess with US postal service. I thought about the possibility that someone may not get their love letters. LOL! I am still getting my love notes from my husband. They don't come in the mail, but they make me smile everyday. Maybe the person who is knocking off mailboxes needs a love letter. It might change their thoughts and change their perspective of a mailbox. An empty mailbox could mean two things, such as no bills or no letters for a lonely soul. Send a letter heal a heart.
Life is beautiful!!
Laney sends a love letter ....Dear people of the world, Please remember that a donation to your favorite charity is a way to say I love you. Bow Wow, Laney
