Walk Without the iPod


I often see couples who appear to be married out on walks with the kids, dogs, or possibly just taking an evening stroll after dinner.

Great idea, right? "Honey let's go on a walk."

What I have observed is that many couples who are on walks have their stupid earbuds stuck in their ears. Of course they are in the ears, that is where earbuds go.

The eardbuds are not the problem. The problem is that someone made a decision to take their iPod with them on their walk.

Can we not unplug for 30 minutes?

So I want to applaud the couple (who is not reading this blog) that was walking this morning with their earbuds draped over their shoulder. They probably realized that they either needed to connect with one another or they had some "issues" to discuss. Either way they got their earbuds out of their ears and hopefully started listening to someone more important than their song they were listening to.

Are you listening to the person you care about?

Go, disconnect and listen.
