Thank you. I find great pleasure walking. Being outside, taking photos of gardens, breathing fresh-ish air, swinging my arms is all delightful. For four months heart disease took this pleasure away. Soon I'll have surgery and the prize, if it works, will be that I can walk again as far as my legs will carry me because my heart - God bless it - will comply. No weight loss consideration. No consideration for even working up a sweat. I hate to sweat. I just want to be able-bodied again so I can walk from tea house to coffee shop with plenty of chocolate and flowers in between. Here's to walking.

Thank you for sharing this Anita. You also bring up such a great perspective -- that just have the ability to walk and be outside is a privilege and a joy. Sending you all the good vibes for your upcoming surgery. Here's to walking (with chocolate and flowers in between).
