Walk
I have started walking again. It isn’t as much as I used to walk, which was about 3-6 miles a day. Things change, or I should say I have changed and so has life. We take so much for granted, yet it is always there. I love walking later in the day – towards dusk.…

Curveballs – Can Help or Hurt Us
