January Walk

I went on a one hour walk on January 2, 2012. On this walk I was not sure what exactly I was suppose to get out of it besides a couple of photos to post on this blog. Once I left for my walk and started thinking about what to take photos of I realized I could get something out of my walk. I realized I wanted to take pictures of the things that I see everyday but don't take the time to really look at or think about. I took pictures of things like parks, schools, signs, views, and playing fields that I pass by every single day but I never think twice about, I don't even take notice of their existence. When walking and taking pictures of these things I remembered all the memories I have at these places as I have grown up. When taking the time to really think about the beauty these places and things bring to us everyday that I never even notice because I am so rapped up in what I am doing I do not take the time to stop and appreciate what's in front of me. Not only do these things provide us with beauty and memories but they provide joy.       These places and things bring joy to people every single day. A school, park, view these things provide joy when people embrace them, people see and spend time create memories at or with these places or things. Or these places and things make the memory. What I really learned on my one hour walk is that it is important to take five minutes of your day to just stop and take in your surroundings, the things you pass by everyday and just really take them in and say thank you. We need to realize of the blessings we have right in front of us but we never realize it because were to rapped up in our own lives to appreciate the little things. I believe I need to take walks more often to be able to just stop and appreciate the little things. :)
