Every step

This is my life this week, or most of the time now that I am retired.

Trying to watch what I eat makes eating both a challenge and an extraordinary pleasure. I love food and good food eaten with company or while watching a great movie is even better.

Then there is sleep, or perchance to dream, as they say and boy do I dream! My dreams are vivid and often magnificent like last night where I was a beautifully dressed child at a Victorian party in a fairy tale Victorian mansion, or terrifying like the night before when I thought a six foot snake was trying to get into my bed. I have a whole separate life in my dreams.

And finally walking. I do it because I need to for my health. I do it because it fills time in a healthy way. I do it looking for adventures and I do it for the company of those willing to walk with me. When I walk alone I am conscious of a power greater than me that surrounds me even when I am not aware of it.

Every step in life is important.
