The Riley Walk

Taking walks can do so many different things for a person. You can loose weight with an exercises walk. You can relax on a beach walk. You can fall in love on a romantic walk. You can bond with the who family on a dog walk. For me, at this moment my favorite walks are Riley walks. She has created her own way of walking. They are fun, full of energy and appreciation.

These walks don't have to be done only by Riley I think anyone can do them. You just have to be really excited to walk. (So excited that you want to scream and jump up and down) On this walk , walk, then run for a little, you can change it up and walk backwards, jump when ever you feel the need to, even lay down and take a break (enjoy every moment). Stop at the trees you think are the most special, look at them and say "tree". If there is a tree that deserves more then a simple look hug it, or touch it. When you are on this very special walk take the time to notice all the animals around. The cats and dogs and birds, and feel free to make the nosies that they make. Always stop to smell the flowers and the weeds that look like flowers. One of the best parts of this walk is saying hi to everyone who you come into contact with. It's not just saying hi either it is saying hi as many times as you need to until they say hi back. You can even leave little gifts for a neighbor. Riley likes to leave leafs. If it is a night walk take a long look at the moon and stars. Watch every helicopter of airplane that goes by. Pick a spot (the same spot every time) and stop there for a while. Just sit and think about the day.

This walk praises God by enjoying and recognizing his creations. Saying hi to people who live in the same neighborhood, is something we should all do. It shows an excitement for life that sometimes gets lost somewhere in childhood. I will not only be taking more walks with Riley I will be taking more Riley walks with Kurtis and Lynk.
