The Joy of Walking

One of the things we have done since our emancipation three weeks ago is walk. Just about every day. In fact, I think we've just missed one day, maybe two. 

At home, we have a 3-mile loop up and down hills that we really enjoy. While we've been traveling, we head out from wherever we are and walk for an hour or so. It's great. 

Walking is one of those things we've always loved to do. But, when we were working it was hard to find the time. What a pleasure it is to bring it to the top of our daily to-do list. They say it makes 21 days to make a habit. I think we're just about there. We can't really imagine a day without walking. 

And, what about the results of this new aerobic routine? We've both dropped 5 pounds in the last three weeks.
