Pippin sent me this picture and quote that looks like she found it on Facebook. The picture reminds me of one I took of my other daughter, Pearl, once when I was walking with her in the autumn. I cropped off the quote and copied it here:
Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day, I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.
-Søren Kierkegaard
It was last fall when I last revived my walking habit. The days are so gorgeous, it seems the only proper thing to do with them — although garden work serves nearly as well, as long as one doesn’t rush, and takes plenty of moments to breathe deeply and look at the sky.

Sweet! And I am glad to hear that you are able to take those walks.

I like that quote a lot. I’m missing my daily walks and also the 45 minutes with my husband as we walk and are away from all the distractions at home .

I am back to walking after a brief but mentally and emotionally painful lull due to a foot issue. Gardening was something I could do and did so with as much concentration in receiving all the benefits it provides.

That’s good news! I know what you mean about the mental and emotional strain of being disabled – it happens to me repeatedly.
