Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Walking Shoes

A chilly start to the morning today with a temperature of 30 degrees. I broke out the new walking shoes this morning. Cheryl - I take pictures of my feet too. :-) I am always a little leery of trying out a new pair of walking shoes because I walk so much I really need a good pair of shoes and if they don't feel good right away I can't wear them. These new ones are great though. I walked 7 miles today and my feet felt perfect! I finished making the Thanksgiving Day card today. I can't believe all the stuff I had all over the place just making one card. What a mess I made. I'll post a picture of the card when it had been delivered. This afternoon we had some snow showers. Didn't amount to anything though which is fine by me. A pretty quiet day - didn't go anywhere. We didn't even go look at the town house after supper. We are going to watch a movie in just a few minutes when I get finished here called The Pursuit of Happyness. Hope it's good. I hope your Tuesday was a Happy One.

I like your walking shoes. I'm thinking of getting gel inserts for mine. I was out in the flurries! I loved it, but what a weird day.

I feel the same way, Happy One. A good pair of walking shoes makes walking pleasurable, an uncomfortable pair can result in misery. As much as they cost, I am always a little leary, because it is like throwing away a $100 bill if the fit is not right.

For me, getting good fitting comfortable hiking boots is even tougher (and more expensive).

Happy One has Happy Feet.

You are a brave one going on a seven mile walk with new walking shoes. Glad to hear that they were just perfect for your walk. I always look for comfort in my walking shoes.

Your townhouse is really going up fast. Do they give you an estimate at to when they will have it ready for you to move into?

I've thought of you these past few mornings and wonder how you walk when it's frigid. I'm taking the easy way out and walking inside. That's fine with me, but I really admire you.

Glad to hear your new shoes worked out well. I hope you liked the movie. I saw it and thought is was very good.
Thanks for your recent visit. How nice of you and your husband to deliver Meals on Wheels on Thanksgiving and also to visit the lady in the nursing home. I am sure you are bringing lots of happiness to many people.

I really enjoyed "The Pursuit of Happyness" We are having unseasonably warm weather here in Idaho. I would have been certain we would be experiencing cold weather as well but have yet to see it. Like your shoes!!

Can't wait to see the Thanksgiving card. I make cards too so I know what a mess can be made.
