Inspired!!!!!

Today is parent teacher conference day. That means I do not have to report to school nearly as early as normal. We have to stay waaayyyy later than normal but that's okay.

Upon waking up, I decided this would be the perfect time to take my dog for a morning walk. After all, it will be too late for a walk when I get home tonight. I poured my coffee in a tumbler so I could drink it "on the go." I put the dog's collar and leash on him and we set out. It was an amazing morning. It isn't "technically" fall yet but boy did it feel like it! The sun was slightly up but not high in the sky. The air was crisp, slightly damp, and filled with the possibility for rain. The slight breeze made it perfect for a morning walk. With coffee in hand, away we went.

I don't normally get to take morning walks because I am usually at school before the sun wakes up. This was a real treat for me. As we walked, I was inspired by the nature that surrounded me. I took in the colors, the feel, and the smell of the fresh morning. At times it was a bit overwhelming. (Then again, maybe that was just the coffee.)

After walking about 2 miles, my tumbler was empty, the coffee was flowing through me like a tornado carving it's path, and my mind was bursting ideas! I could not wait to get home!!!!

Once at home, I pack a few things so I could put my inspiration to paper! You see.... I have a few gaps in my conference schedule. I'm not allowed to leave so I plan on using that "down time" to put my creativity and inspiration to work!

It's amazing what an unrushed morning walk and coffee does for me! Stop by later and see my creations that were inspired by this beautiful morning!
