A few times a week I'll strap on the old Ipod and head out for a run. Jaecy often asks to tag along, and my exercise time changes dramatically when she does. When I go by myself I usually sweat out a few miles, listening to music along the way and thinking about my current to-do list. When Jaecy goes with me we'll walk a while, run a while, the whole time talking about things that I would never even notice otherwise. Jaecy is an expert at pointing out bunny-rabbits that might be moving about, or she'll point out some pretty flowers that some one has planted. She loves it when Daddy runs backwards in front of her, I'm not sure if she's looking forward to the imminent trip and fall that will surely follow or not. :) The point is, it's amazing what I see when I change the lens through which I look. I try to stay quiet so she can point out the next conversation piece, and she never disappoints.

It's amazing what kids notice about the world. If only we adults would take more time out to really see what is going on around us, the world might be a more peaceful place.
