After having my morning coffee and peanut butter on a English muffin I venture outside for my morning walk. Five times around the driveway is about a mile or for a change in scenery I walk the road about my place. Whenever the rain prevents walking outside, I will get on the thread mill and go a mile at 3 mph for a little over 20 minutes. On real nice days I have gone around Fords Pond or walked down to Bachelor Creek at Mildred Kanipe Park. Walking is vital now to my sanity, health and gives me time to ponder life during this uncertain time.
