I forget that sometimes. Sometimes I try to make it more than that. My multi-tasking goes too far.  I consider my walks 'working walks' far too often. I grab the camera and think   I gotta take some pictures today,  I gotta get some good ones for the blog. Instead of just walking, I search for great shots, I stop often, I am absorbed in trying to take pictures. Or I make the walk about why I am walking.   I ate too much ice cream,  I need to do that extra hill today,  and those cookies, take it a bit faster! Often I set out on my walk with the tasks.  What am I going to write about today?   I spend the walk writing in my head, actually working out the script.  Other days I am consumed with what to create.  How am I going make that new Toekini ?  How is that necklace going to work without being too bulky?  What is the best way to design that matching bracelet ?  And those Jellyfish!  Oh, and I gotta finish...

What a cute name, and awesome shop. Beautiful jewelry from a fellow North Carolinian. Too bad she is on the other side of the state from me. But at least I can visit her shop, and keep up on her blog. Be sure to see her talent in one of the place you can find her.   Jessica Cauthon - The Chickadee Tree is This Week's Featured Artisan for Share the Love, Blogger's Unite.

Now you are probably thinking... Is she STILL going on about her new walking shoes ?  Oh brother! And yes, I still am!  But unless you went from these: Notice the heel tread completely worn off on one shoe,  the missing label in the center, and the yellow worn off the front section.   To these: Brand spankin' new, GEL, pink and black, dressy blingy going out to party, (as hubby called them when he saw them) awesome walking shoes!   Unless you made a transition like this, well you just can't understand.  Every day since I got these walking shoes, this song has been in my head when I slip into these and go for my walk. I am humming it while I am walking on cushions, there is a hop to my step, and suddenly everything is right ! So today I am featuring this song to celebrate, and partly to get it the heck out of my head.  Because frankly I am a little sick of it.  I found if a song is stuck in my head, and I feature it here on Mus...

Crow on a Branch in the Fog Yesterday, it was foggy. A real thick, dark, grey, scary movie kind of fog.  Something about it, and the schedule I wanted to keep, made me want to put on my new walking shoes and get out there in the fog.  I know I talked about fog before, a few times. Each time I talk about it, I realize I am in a different frame of mind. Either in a fog myself , or  happy to greet the fog , sometimes it's  spectacular fog  or the  challenges becoming clear in the fog .  Foggy Hill   Yesterday, I had a completely different reaction to the fog.  A scary movie walk kind of fog which in my mind was set to be FUN FOG.  I realized how important attitude can be. On most other days, I would look out at the fog, ponder its wonderful wet beauty, and say to myself - ' No walk right now' . Yesterday, all I could think was - 'Hey, that would be a cool walk !'

Ever since last Thursday, this song,  'These Eyes'  by  The Guess Who ,  has been in my head. WHY?   Because of these eyes. Last Thursday morning, I woke up at 6:05am (like I do every weekday to get the kids to school), noticed the door to my daughters room was already open, she was not there. Still half asleep, I notice the kitchen light was on. I shuffle in there, the light hurting my tired eyes. I see my daughter hovered over the kitchen counter by the coffee maker. " Are you OK? " I ask worried and confused as to why she was in the kitchen so early. She mumbles " Yeah " , (she is not a morning person), and I notice the message board on the fridge, and the picture next to it. " Oh " is all I can manage to say, still a little groggy. Then, " Oh, you're making coffee! " . I walk over to her and hug her, she is still hovered over the coffee maker struggling with the filter. I notice she is not sure how is all works, so give her so...
