Is there a better way to start the morning than with morning hugs? This morning I drove to my friend’s house to begin the summer morning walk ritual. I meet M and K and their 4 children and we walk, talk, plan and retrieve dropped items for an hour 3 or 4 days a week. This morning I pulled up and slid out of my car. I heard, “It’s Amy. Go give her hugs.” I am soon surrounded by a 2 year old, a 3 year old and 4 year old while my knees are encircled by six small arms. The 1 year old is securely strapped into the stroller but he still waves and beams at me with his ever present smile. What a welcome!

Having a friend to walk with is so motivating! I need to convince my neighbor that we need to start doing this again.
No, there is no better way. Do you get them when you depart as well?
