on a side note I will admit that this place is wonderful in the quiet of the morning. No dogs are out. very few people are out, and they are busy on their own routine. The lake is empty of boats, people and tourists. The whole area was peaceful and serene and we talked, and chatted, and caught up to each other. I forgot how peaceful 5am can be. I used to rise each morning for sunrise prayers and stopped it a while back. I was able to meet my sunrise prayer while walking the roadside that btw was empty of cars that normally zoom up and down the street all day.

Weird, but I kinda got a glimpse of the old me hiding behind the girl with ms. strange.

Early morning is so peaceful. I love it. It's a great time to reflect and rejoice. I'm glad you have the safety of having DH with you. Just do what you can do. I'd go for it!

Good luck in Boot Camp, Dej! I'm proud of you for taking this step and I think it's awesome of your DH to be there to cheer you on and help you through Boot Camp.

BTW - I love early mornings too! It is so quiet and peaceful and I love to listen to the birds singing their morning songs as the sun rises. It's also cooler out in the morning and I sit outside with my cup of coffee and listen and pray. It's a beautiful time of day.

A 3 mile walk! I am very impressed.

Me Too!!!

Me, too! I'm proud to walk to and from the mailbox each day!

Kelly -- Me too! Walking from my car to my office is tough some days. I was using the stairs at school last week, but it is too hot now! Not air conditioned in the parts of the building with stairs.
