Walking

We were out for our walk one day with Einstein and came across these two donkeys. Reminded me of a book I used to read when I was young titled 'Donkey, Donkey', by Roger Duvoisin.

Einstein didn't do well on his leash this day... he kept pulling at it and making himself choke (for attention) and running back and forth underfoot. Finally, I had enough and gave him one little spank. It BROKE MY HEART to spank that little dog... you just don't know... but I was so amazed at how good he was after that one little spanking. He walked next to me without pulling on the leash at all... he even stopped trying to cross back and forth. I could hardly tell he was still on the leash!

I have since bought him a better harnass which won't choke him even if he does pull on it. I'm anxious for the weather to be nicer so I can make more of an effort to walk, walk, walk. Right now, the weather is nice one day and I wind up putting the walking off until it's too late... then the next day it's cold and rainy and I wish I had gone the day before!

I still haven't done more than a mile and a half at a time! I thought I'd be doing marathons by now! lol yeah, right!

Pray with me that I can make walking for exercise / health a priority in my life and not procrastinate or make excuses!
