Our road was a mile long, and often they would be crabby or bored when we began and by the time we returned everyone was smiling, laughing and talking. I think families could work out a lot of issues between siblings and partners by going on long walks. The first five minutes can be silent and a gathering of thoughts, then everyone could express what they are grateful for and finally share what ever else is on their minds. Magic happens when we do things that are good for us. Stacey,

I supect my mother gardening and working in a 3 acre garden .. probably did a lot more than us - until we got out of our beds and away from our books out into the open air .. where the pedometer wouldn't stay in place as we cavorted! Your post is a timely reminder that I must develop a routine for walking .. I keep thinking the better weather is coming! .. it's now cold and wet again .. still lots of change happening & life will be 'easier' soon & I can settle into a routine .. thanks for the info ..

I take about 6,500 steps a day. That includes jogging with my dog, walking on my breaks, and going for hikes on weekends. I could do a little more. I'm starting to feel a little flabby. I'm going to start incorporating more strength training into my walking routine. I should check to see if there is a swimming pool nearby. I could use the change up.
