    [beginning]
    There are some mountains near where I live in Haytown, with lots of trails for walking and lots of streams full of rocks and fish and beautiful waterfalls. One day, not too long ago, I drove over to the mountains with my dog, Shelby, to go for a nice, long walk there…

    I didn’t feel like going to work today. That happens. I bet it happens to you. You just don’t feel like it sometimes. I woke up, and I was tired. I didn’t feel like going to work, I felt like going back to sleep. I didn’t feel like going to work, I felt like going for a walk with my dog. I didn’t feel like going to work, I felt like making some tea and watching a movie. But I knew there were a lot of people who were counting on me going to work.
