WALKING IS SUCH SWEET SORROW in Postcards 4

It almost takes a jackhammer to get me moving these days. I confess; I’m the laziest person you know. I’m the lady who used to run on the beach when my kids were small. Even worse, I used to walk to work tho I rode a bus home. It was three miles. I test drove it door to door…home to the Mission Beach Plunge just to see how far it really was.
Now days, I walk just to the end of the driveway, and I sit there on my walker seat and pant. Even tho I am happily home, I pant.
So I’ve made a decision to walk every day. I’ll go from the garage to the mail box and back. If you want me, I’m downstairs walking.

- Gratitude’s: That I could get to the end of the drive.

Build up at a comfortable pace. I'm doing 2 miles on the treadmill, but it took me a year to get there.
I'm so glad to see you writing again!

You can do it! Just do a little tiny bit more each day and before you know it, you will be going back and forth to the mailbox easily. :) Of course, you are in healing mode, too, so be super patient with yourself. :) And proud of what you are doing! :)

That’s a really good plan - it’s a great way to gradually build up strength :)

You were such a hottie MagB. What did you like about being alone?

Don't be so hard on yourself, you've been thru a lot. A little bit every day will do the trick. So glad to see another of your drawings.
