Miles to go ... 108 and counting

Tal received a Fitbit for Christmas, a suggestion from his physical therapist as a way to track steps and learn about sleep patterns.  Since then Tal began using a ventilator at night. Now, his sleep is regular and restful.  The Fitbit doesn't seen to record steps very well when its user is leaning on a walker.  Hum.

To the top of the dresser it went.  Another collector of dust. Until ...

A month ago I decided I would begin walking each morning.  For exercise. To clear my mind. None of my go-to excuses exerted their usual power. On the first Monday in July I set out. To bad it took me a week to think about that abandoned black bracelet.  So, it wasn't until the 13th that I charged the Fitbit and put it on.  In the 19 days between then and the end of the month I walked 108 miles. 

The best time to head out is between 6:00 and 6:15. I get to watch the light rise, to see the sun come up, to engage our neighborhood as people begin to move. It's a great time of day.     

There are two pairs of shoes I alternate morning-by-morning now. I'm kind of interested in how many miles I might walk during August. I think I'm hooked.

Stay tuned.

    Welcome

    For most of my 60 years I have let the question "what is this all about?" dwell somewhere in my being -- in the forefront at times, frequently banished to the depths. It's persistent, that question.

    This space is one I want to hold open for myself, and for all who visit, where I can use photography and the written word to contemplate life's wonders and mysteries.
