Brings fastest relief

  1. The tyranny of exercise -- that's it. I'm putting on my clothes and shoes and going out for a walk with Miss Sophie. Thanks for the gorgeous inspiration.

  4. What a great image – are those shoes ready to go or have they just returned? Hmm... Either way, there's nothing like a good walk to clear the head and fill the soul.

  5. Elizabeth- You will not be sorry.

    Boonie- As is walking.

    Nicol- Indeed I do!

    Paper-n-soul- They're resting after their journey. They took me where I needed to go today.

  6. So glad - my computer is weird and I'#m having trouble with commenting, but we'll see what happens here -

    Glad you had a good walk. I was able to leave Dade in his new playschool to test it out (after really not quite liking the montessori we got him into first) and I walked by the sea, up the cliff in the sun - and on the way back to Rainbow's End playschool, a huge fat rainbow lay almost horizontally across the headland and fell into the sea - it looked like it should fizzle or bubble or sizzle.

    And he loves his playgroup by the beach, thank god. So it was a good day.

  7. Perfect therapy: walking meditation.

  8. Walking soothes me better than wine, chocolate or conversation (okay, maybe not as much as chocolate).

  9. Love this. Walking is a life-saver for me, too.

  10. I like exercise. But in the heat and humidity, it is a challenge. I would rather go to the gym that has AC when it is 90 F and 90% humidity.

  15. Inspired by your words and photo:

    walk with me
    shoes tied or barefoot
    walk with me
