Walk

The walk to my car and get my board down from the roof rack or the walk to the shore line, there are many walks that put a smile on my face. My dogs need to walk and they are their own motivation. They are so happy when they see the leashes come out. It’s difficult to put them on since they are bouncing around and going crazy in the living room.

If I am stuck with something to write I might get up from my desk and talk a walk to the store, just to get some fresh air and move around for a bit. I walk around the mall sometimes, but that is not a refreshing as walking on the sand.

In our families sometimes we walk towards them or away from them. For me I have run away from my mother and sister and most of my family. Not all of them have hurt me as much as my mother and sister have, but if they ask about them, what can I say? I don’t want to see them ever again since they are so horrid. Its one thing to have disagreements and quite another to suffer abuse. After a while I started to lose respect for myself, for staying around my mother as long as I did.

With others it’s the same thing. If you are in a spot were its not working and you still stay can you still respect yourself in the morning? I see my friends treat their boyfriends or girlfriends and I have lost respect for them. I have to walk away from watching it happen all over again, I get really tired of seeing it. As for me, there may come a time when I might have to take a walk.

When is it time to take a walk? No one can answer that but you. Some times you have to stay since it’s not the time to walk. Not because you want to stay, there may not be a lot of options open to you at the time. What do you do in the mean time? For me I don’t need to make things worse than they are and I don’t need to create a fuss all the time. I make the best of things for the time being and find ways to get out of the house. I take a short walk to the shore or other places. I encourage others to walk as well, it helps build up your stamina for a much longer walk.
