Morning walks with my dog have become one of my favorite parts of the day. The air feels fresher, the streets are quieter, and my dog’s excitement is contagious. No matter how sleepy I am, that tail wag always makes me smile.

It’s not just exercise—it’s a chance to notice the little things. Birds singing, neighbors starting their day, the way the light looks different each morning. The walk grounds me before the chaos of the day begins.

It’s a simple routine, but one that makes life feel a little richer.
