Walking ABC with Dana

I had a full day today - calling for MPD appointments, sending snail mails and emails to our Ministry Partners and doing Campus Forum preparations on the side. 

I felt the need to take some time to relax and enjoy the nature, so I decided to put on my jogging attire and headed my way to my favorite routes along Banawe and several other streets connected to this well-known area.

"Daddy, sama ako!" , shouted Dana. So, I  immediately helped her wear her own "sports" attire and we both went our way - walking, jogging, walking and later...carrying Dana. Haha! This time, I'm not just working on my 30 minutes cardio but also developing on my biceps and triceps.

These are the ABCs I creatively learned with Dana as we walked together (for sure, as time flies so fast, someday, Divine and I will walk with her in the aisle for her future mate, hehe):

A- Appreciating God's creation. I talked to her that the trees she sees are God's creation so we should thank Him for giving us these trees.

B- Bonding through sharing of any stories as we walked and as she sat on my shoulder.

C- Caring expressed by carrying her and telling her that I love her.

D- Discovering new things along the way. As we walked along N.Roxas street, we discovered that there's a new Dormitory managed by the Sisters of the poor. So, we called the number displayed outside and asked if we can enter and see the place. You might be interested: Tel. Nos: 5597605/09266587363. 

It's good to have a regular time to unwind. No need to go to far places. Just around the corner, there's a lot to discover and learn, especially with your kids. I look forward to walk...jog... and sprint with Ardi, too, someday. Of course, it's more fun to bring the whole family. Let's do it!
