Run

My kids, 5 and 7, run almost everywhere.

They usually get out of bed in the morning before mom and dad and every morning we hear their bare feet running across the tile from their rooms to ours. Running. First thing in the morning.

At the store, they run from one thing to the next.

At the house; they run.

At church; they run.

Walking is boring and slow.

Walking wastes time.

When did we stop running everywhere? Why?

    i think we all have been quiet commenting b/c you struck to close to home. perhaps we have quit running b/c a few to many things have died within our hearts. or maybe we've ran before and it just ended up hurting us. or we dont want the let down of going back to normal after a nice "run". i mulled over this blog during my commute and my emotions ranged from sad to sorrowful.
