I’m fucking lazy. And depressed. I need a reason to get up every day.

Having this dog to walk definitely helps. Even if it doesn’t feel motivating to me that I got this sweet dog to walk in the early morning. I know that if I don’t get my fatass up, this doggo is going to poop in the house.

So that’s pretty good reason enough to get off the couch (bed) and stop pretending to sleep and actually get moving. Motivation doesn’t always need to be from a kind and tender place. Motivation could come from anxiety, fear or something worse. I guess whatever works. Because, once that first piston starts pumping it’s easy to ignite the rest.

We were out of the house by 7am. The crowd was thick everywhere we went. Ended up at 3 different nature reserves before we found our happy place. This is 5 minutes from the house. Love this place. I also love what looks like another planet or perhaps something from National Geographic in close proximity to the neighborhood.

Do you have a picture of your favorite places to go and unwind with a family pet? Place your image and link and tell me about it.

No filter on anything. Straight up auto settings on an iPhone 8 plus. Amazing!
