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

Sunday

I started out the new year as usual with a morning walk.  Around the lake i went and only saw a few other people.  Barbara who enjoys her walk as much as i do, a couple from my church and a runner.  There were three deer that i spotted on the path to the lake.

I walked 6.3 miles.
Someone asked how many miles i walk in a year.  I haven't added them up but if i averaged 6 mile a day that would be 2190 miles so it is around there somewhere.

I counted up the coins i found this month and it came to a total of only a 78 cents and only $11.42 for the year but a grand total in my glass banks of $215.28.
 ************************************
Cause me to hear the lovingkindness in the morning;
for in thee do I trust:
Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk;
for I lift up my soul unto thee.
Psalm 143:8
A blessed Sunday to all and may this new year be your best yet.
Happyone : )

Best wishes to you Happyone in the coming New Year. I can't believe how much money you've collected over time, that's amazing. I get such a thrill out of your blog, love your awesome pictures. It's going to be a great year, I can just tell.

And you are not tossing out the 200 something dollars are you? Now I haven't gone to the lengths you have to keep it separated, but I am picking up change. I figure it can't hurt and it might help. =) And just today I found $26 in my desk drawer and have no idea how it got there. I'm not asking questions either.

I figure you've walked to the moon and back if you tally all the miles you've walked since you began at a year old or earlier. You were probably one of those who started walking at 7 or 8 months. =)

And we took our walk down-street, on a mild Jan. day. But of course, as soon as the sun went down, it was Dec. again!!!!!! :-)

(-grin- I wrote a Dec. day, at first. lol)
