You know how sometimes something just clicks and you didn't even know you were thinking about it? That happened today for me. I was coming home from doing errands and started thinking about what I still had to do today, and taking my walk immediately came to mind. But, on the heels of that thought came the very welcome realization that I had already taken my walk today. In fact, I had walked further than usual in the same amount of time. I had walked faster!
What I have figured out is that once I just do something that is good for me, I can let it go and live my life without it hanging over me. It is sort of like ordering that meal that is a healthier choice than the rest on the menu, and then adding that I don't want any potato. Once I do that, all the tension is gone, the meal is satisfying and I don't have to focus on it anymore. (And, I don't ever remember wishing I had had the potato or whatever.)
So tomorrow when I get up and start thinking about when I will walk, I will open that front door and go!

In my ongoing catalogue of WOW's (Words of Wisdom) I will add, "When dithering about what to do next, do the next right thing!" This resolves all kinds of issues about whether or not you HAVE to do something. Yes, I am the Queen of Wisdom.
Love your Blog and the way your new way of life is becoming your new way of life. Hugs,
