Let's Go on a Walk

I feel like I say this a lot, but it doesn't make it any less true, it was a gorgeous day! My family had a Pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving so that almost all of us were together since my sister will be on vacation for the actual turkey day. So with the annual family hoopla - The Pre-Hoopla Hoopla - I got to be outdoors for a bit and play some knock out. I made it to the final 3 one round which is pretty decent considering the size of my family and the uber-competitiveness we all have. From there I went to a friend's party to eat food and semi-watch football. I spent a decent amount of time outdoors enjoying the warm breeze and wonderful 60 degree temperature. But all I wanted to do all day was go on a run or a long walk. Do finally at 4:30pm I was able to get out and on a walk.

Like usual I couldn't convince Ryan to join me. But unlike usual as I got ready to venture out a new tune popped into my head and I started making up lyrics and singing it to myself. I headed out the door and the tune followed me the whole time. I sang it at a self-audible level and made up verses all along the way. It was quite the productive 27:06 and 1.25 miles since by the end of it I had a song in head, and almost in hand! So I walked thru my house doors, over to a notebook, found a pen and sat down and wrote out my lyrics. Then I got onto the computer, opened up GarageBand and recorded the tune.

"On a Walk"

C'mon on a walk with me
We're gonna see what we can see
Gonna say hi to everybody
Let's go on a walk

We're gonna stroll on down the lane
You might think it rather plain
No it's not, it's not insane
Let's go on a walk


We're walkin' and we're talkin'
Havin' a wonderful time
We're walkin' and we're talkin'
It's so very fine


Sometimes it's nice to skip along
As we hum a little song
No it can't, it can't be wrong
When we're on a walk

Sometimes it's nice to sing a tune
As we walk under the moon
It's just what, just what we're doin'
When we're on a walk


We're walkin' and we're talkin'
Havin' a wonderful time
We're walkin' and we're talkin'
It's so very fine

So c'mon on a walk with me
We're gonna see what we can see
Gonna say hi to everybody
Let's go on a walk

Sometimes when the sunshines
It's so very grand
Sometimes when the sunshines
You'll just hold my hand

So c'mon on a walk with me
We're gonna see what we can see
Gonna say hi to everybody
Let's go on a walk

We're gonna walk on down the street
You might think it rather neat
No it can't, it can't be beat
Let's go on a walk

We're walkin' and we're talkin'
Havin' a wonderful time
We're walkin' and we're talkin'
It's so very fine

So c'mon on a walk with me
We're gonna see what we can see
Gonna say hi to everybody
Let's go on a walk
Let's go on a walk
