There are times for change, and now is the time. I had the idea to start a blog one day while walking, and the idea grew in my mind until it became an action. ( Even writing the last sentence makes me smile.) Who would have thought that I might ever want to write a blog?
A couple of years ago, a friend and neighbor of mine tried to turn my mind towards such an enterprise, and I was against it, claiming that I just 'wasn't interested and didn't have enough time'. However, here I am! One never knows where life will take you, and when I began losing weight by running and doing karate, I never thought that I would enjoy walking so much ! Today I had to MAKE myself take a rest day !!
Why did I choose the title "The Art of Walking", you ask? It came to me while I was walking.... ;) " Truly !! lol Art is a personal thing", I thought, "and so is walking". It can be a form of art as a personal expression. Everyone walks, or wishes they could, (during my month-long stay in a wheelchair, I really wanted to walk !!) whether it be from the car to your house or place of business, or around the block. Some people walk for exercise and some for pleasure; some with music and some without. The motivation and action are all personal choices but can be lifted to greater heights depending on the choices we make.
Personally, I have chosen to walk for pleasure while listening to music. And in the course of doing that, I have learned a few things that may, or may not, be helpful to others. Hence the objective of this blog ! And along with the things that I have learned, I have some funny stories to tell, and you, as readers, can choose to learn and laugh with me, and I hope you will ! :)
As a side note, if you have learned something during your walks and want to share your experience with others, please let me know.
