Well I am not totally done with today. Got some things to do to get ready for tomorrow and this is my last chance to hop on the computer for a little while so I figured I better take the opportunity.
I did take the kids on walk this morning. Pleasantly surprised by my husband who decided to come with us. He is not the out doorsy type. I am so glad he did. First off it took us later to leave because we had to wait for him to get ready. When we got to the nature preserve there where two people riding by on horse back. They let my children feed the horses peppermint of all things. Who knew that a horse would like that. The other horse by the way did not. My daughter who is only three, loved it. I my self enjoyed it, which is odd simply do to the fact that horses scare me. Bad experience back when I was five. This horse however did not scare me at all. Strange isn't it?
After we said goodbye to the horses my husband took off in the opposite direction I usually go. The way I would have gone if he hadn't been with me. The first way we took kind of curved around and headed back to the parking lot. Then we took another route. Still in the complete opposite direction from how we normally go.It was really nice though. The path was abut a mile. It wound through the forest it followed the river for most of the way and it even had a small part we had to go up a 'hill' . Not a big deal to many but in this part of Florida it is really flat we don't get that to much. It was so nice to walk in a forest I have been in so many times and discover such a different part of it. With out my husband there I would have never thought to go that way.
If the first day of the New Year sets the tone for the rest of the year then maybe this means that this year I will discover new things in familiar places. Places being a very relative term here. For me it could be places people or even myself. Either way I am excited to see what the new year brings and so far I am happy with it.
