I woke up Friday morning, April 17, feeling a little blah. Some mornings I feel so tired of battling the fatigue — it can seem overwhelming.
As I sat up in bed, my dog, Bow leaned up against me — pushed against me — and she looked into my eyes adoringly. But I swear, she looked a little bummed-out too.
I sighed, “We need some outdoor time, don’t we, Girl?”
Her head tilted as she kept looking at me. I thought about — wondering where I could take her. I considered taking her out to The Bosque — a natively wooded area along the Rio Grande River, with walking and biking paths within our city.
