~ walking

(Jan 19/09) As noted in prior posts, I was sick with the flu for a few days. I noticed how much better I felt once I was able to get out for a walk, even if it was a short one. Today I went for my usual long jaunt down to the ocean and circled back to the house, in the light of a bright but setting sun, under blue sky. Apparently it's going to shine for a couple more days this week, too. And when I got back, I felt good. Walking has always been a joy to me. I try to be awake when I'm walking too - not in my head, thinking about yesterday or planning tomorrow - but present, noticing the changes in the gardens, the cat wandering out on a driveway, the birds singing in the trees.
