My daughter got me a prayer journal this christmas. I have always kept some form of journals and often find myself trying to remember when something happened life so I pick up a journal to see if the answer is there. I was able to ascertain that one of our cats is ten years old the other day when I was paging thru one. This morning I decided to look at the new one she got me and it is the type that has meditations in it or short stories that inspire one to do things. The story I read was about a man who felt as I do on some days and he decided to try walking. Someone suggested it. Well, he could not walk far but he decided to keep track of the steps he took and make a goal to add twenty steps each day. In order to do this he had to have a pedometer but since I do not have one at this time, I am measuring it in distances until amazon sends me mine.
After reading it I forced myself to get out where the sun is shining some today and walk. Guess what? I do feel better and I feel that things will work out, no matter what. I hope to keep this up all year. I wanted to share this though with all you others out there who may be having the winter blahs.

You must have a lovely thoughtful daughter. It is so true about walking. I value my mobility so much. Three times I have been in plaster and had to hobble. To be able to walk in the countryside is one of God's blessings.
I'm not very diligent about it, but I do find that a walk usually helps.
I also walk once in a while. It also cures my winter blues, it relaxes me and sometimes it also helps de-clutter my mind. :)
niceheart...decluttering the mind is what I had to do yesterday and today.
