Good morning!

I got up this morning with intense back pain, but I was able to walk to the bathroom and then to the kitchen to feed Theo. I settled in my chair for a cup of coffee, then got down on the floor to do my stretches. That eased some of the pain, but not all. Then I got up, went out, and walked for a half hour. By the time I came home, most of the pain was gone.

All I could think was how grateful I am. My sister has started using a walker to get around her house. One of my brunch friends, younger than I am, also uses a walker, while a second friend has become disabled and unable to leave her house or stand without help while she waits to get in to see a doctor. She's also younger than I am.

This is why I walk almost every day. And I am so very grateful that I can.

Keep on keeping on, my friends.
