Morning Walk:
During childhood, every day my mother woke me up saying, 'Rise and shine. The early bird gets the worm.' I didn't know then what she meant by these words. She wanted me to be an early riser, as she believed that early risers have more time to achieve their goals. Today I understand the meaning of these words, and I value the lesson that I learned.
If you are an early riser, you would know how blissful mornings can be. At dawn, the first rays of the sun gently caress the earth, like a mother waking her child up. From then on, it is a flurry of activity. You can tell that it is morning by the enthusiastic birds chirping.
Catch the morning rays of the sun on your face. Bask in the warm golden rays, and you will feel wonderful. Take a brisk walk in the open, and enjoy the gentle morning breeze on your face. The morning sun is a good source of vitamins that gives your body a healthy look.
An early riser as I am, I go out for a walk everyday. I do not like to be bothered by anyone else company. Going with some companion means breaking into frequent conversation on the way. I, therefore, cannot concentrate on the beauty of nature around me. This is why I prefer going all alone.
I love the most the chirping of birds in the morning. The melodious chirping is enchanting. They seem to welcome the sun with their sweet notes. After walking half a mile I sit in a pretty rose garden. The every sight and smell of those beautiful flowers cheers me up. Small dew drops on petals and leaves look like precious pearls. The sight pleases the eyes. I meditate there for a while. I forget the hustle and bustle of my daily life and escape from worries temporarily I feel a new strength is being injected into my otherwise tired body. I feel some new sense of joy as I relax while sitting in the silence around me.
As I often go to a garden for a walk I meet other morning walkers who are as regular as me. They bring their dogs for a walk too. Young and old
