In this crazy economic situation, I believe that we need to take time to slow down, ENJOY LIFE and not get stressed over things we can't control. Breathe. Judy Winter has started a Seven Days of Simple Pleasures series and has invited others to join her on this week of recording the simple pleasures in life. So, here I go and please share your simple pleasures as well!
Our family went to Veterans Park today. The lakefront was spectacular and I was reminded of how much I really really love living here. It was an absolutely gorgeous day in our city. The sun was shining, the lake glistened and people were hiking, biking, roller blading and playing ball.
We flew a kite and then walked about eight miles total on a part of the Oak Leaf Trail along the lakefront, past the wedding parties at the Milwaukee Art Museum, Discovery World, Summerfest grounds with a detour to the Milwaukee Public Market where we stopped for brownies, coffee and a Mexican Orange Soda for Andrew. The miles upon miles of paved pathways allow wheelchair users to enjoy a good hike along with the numerous curb cut-a-ways that make navigating a wheelchair in this city a breeze. Our simple pleasure for today was to simply enjoy our great city of Milwaukee.
