Walking

​A friend sent me an email with a humorous look at walking. It started me laughing and then thinking about the word walking. I will share her email at the end. But first, the obvious benefits of walking from the Mayo Clinic Staff: Maintain a healthy weight and lose body fat. Prevent or manage various conditions; including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, cancer and type 2 diabetes. Improve cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones and muscles. Improve muscle endurance, increase energy levels, improve mood, cognition, memory and sleep. Recover balance and coordination, strengthen immune system and reduce stress and tension.
These were my thoughts: There is knowing when to walk away just before you say something you will regret! I haven’t yet mastered this walking away before saying it, my timing is still off, but getting better.
​
In the 1960’s Dionne Warwick sang the hit song, Walk on By. Part of falling in love includes the pain of falling out of love. The song still brings memories of the heart ache of love as a teenager. If we would have known then what we know now, perhaps we would have ‘Walked on By’ sooner. 

Walking the floor for those who enjoy worrying walking. As if walking would make it better. And according to the Mayo Clinic Staff, walking does reduce stress and tension…. walk away my friend. 

Walking the Talk; it’s not easy to align our behavior while becoming who we want to be. It takes failing, regrouping and recovering to categorize the walk of your talk. Don’t stop walking. And plan for it!

There are walking trails to consider, walk -in closets, walking sticks, walking pneumonia, walking in Faith and walking through an open door after another door closes. While researching the word walking, I surprisingly discovered Walking Tacos. Yes! Walking Tacos are an on-the-go dinner or camp fire or game night meal. You can go on line and find the recipe.  
Walking the dog. A dog may or may not exist in a family home. But when a person needs to get away from a situation, going out to walk the dog may objectively save the relationship. 

And to wrap up Walking…. enjoy this little ditty of walking humor:

Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $4,000 per month.

My grandpa started walking five miles a day when he was 60. Now he's 97 years old and we have no idea where the hell he is.

I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

The only reason I would take up walking is so that I could hear heavy breathing again. I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing.

I joined a health club last year, spent about 250 bucks. Haven't lost a pound. Apparently, you have to go there!

The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they’ll say, "Well, she looks good doesn’t she."

If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.

I know I got a lot of exercise the last few years, ......just getting over the hill.

We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Keep walking!

With love,
Hilda
