AMEN Brother! Great post and effective 'kick in the butt'!

Ok, my declaration is less ambitious than yours....for now. I commit to doing a minimum of 15 times UP the stairs at work during each day (only one flight of 12 steps so don't worry, it is doable.) And of course, committing to 15 times UP does mean at least that many DOWN.... I will keep you posted. Can't wait to see what others commit to! Love you!

You have put into words my sentiments concerning walking. It is such a wonderful activity that God gave us to enjoy and use.
No matter where we have lived through the years, walking has been my cathartic and joyous choice-sometimes as my primary exercise of the time, sometimes as a self imposed discipline and often as my big adventure of the day.
I no longer commit myself to a certain number of miles or even blocks but on the days my body is cooperating I do go for that walk for all the reasons you have given.
I would have missed so much of life had I not taken my walks. There are many things I routinely and mindfully thank God for. Walking is one,- hot water is another. How can this woman be so blessed? I ask.
I never would have heard the Meadow Lark had I not taken walks or bicycle rides as a kid growing up in that small WY town. Oh what a miss that would have been.
I would never have heard the sound of boots squeaking on a cold, snowy street had I deprived myself of the walk in the frost-bitten world.
I do commit to walking when and where I am for as long as my body nods its head and says "Go for it, Woman, just Go for it.
And I wish you the very best of walks as you move along through your life.
Thank you, Billy.
