Fruit Of A Morning Walk

Something life changing happened today. While out taking my morning walk, the thought came and it didn’t leave. It just percolated and before I was home from my walk, the thought had reproduced twice and even had a name. I was so excited I bounded up the stairs to chat to my husband about this great new idea that had just come to me. He had just gotten out of the shower and was shaving. He could tell I was excited and he patiently listened. After presenting the grand idea, I asked ‘what do you think? Would you read my blog?' He paused and then said ‘Yes, he would read my blog and, yes, he thought it sounded like a great idea’. I could tell there was a BUT coming. He paused again and before he could finish his thought I said ‘You think it is a great idea, but you don’t think I will actually do it!’ He started laughing and that was all the motivation I needed. So today, the 4th of March 2008, is the day that I will prove my husband wrong and I will start my own blog. Here is to many entertaining, fun, and fruitful entries on ‘One thumb up and one foot down’. ‘Mrs. Thumb Up’ kissed ‘Mr. Foot Down’ before he left for work that day and said – just wait, I will surprise you!

And after successfully posting this blog, Mrs. Thumb Up is eagerly awaiting Mr. Foot Down's arrival home from work....
