A Walk in the Park
I love Memorial Park. I recently moved to a much more urban neighborhood than where I previously lived and I have rediscovered this gem! At 6:30 in the morning, there is a whole city at Memorial Park – people and dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, ethnicities. On a recent morning, I saw marathon runners, an ex-Secretary of State and his wife, an elderly gentleman with a walker being encouraged by an equally elderly best friend as well as moms pushing strollers and those like me, an empty nester just trying to keep some of those unwanted pounds off. There is encouragement simply in the numbers and the diversity.
