My next step in the whole "happiness plan" idea is to take more walks. I have been wanting to add a weekly hike into my life for a long time. I took my first hike to Iona Beach last week with Jonathon and Allyson. The pugs were, of course, in attendance as well. I hadn't really planned much about this outing but I had never been to Iona Beach before and it is apparently haven for dogs and humans alike. It was amazing. We were walked almost as far as you could go and the pugs were able to run like crazy animals. 

We haven't done that for quite some time. The pugs running like crazy things, not the hike itself. It always makes me smile when I am able to watch my beasts run freely and without any concern that they will get run over by a car. Seri is not much of an adventurer and tends not to stray too far but Faith is fearless and will run and run and run without so much of a thought about where it may take her. Amazing. I wish we all could take a bit of her bravery.

So, that is the next step in my happiness plan. Some people have e-mailed me and mentioned that they think this is a good idea. Seize the day and get out there more. Stop hiding because of whatever is keeping me back.

Oh, and I hope to get my first letter soon. I think the mail is backed up a bit and it may take some time to get here. I haven't had any takers yet on joining me in my letter writing campaign. Don't hesitate to join up!
