A Long Walk

I thought this was cute:



The weather's been so nice, I went on a 4 hour walk with my friend S on the weekend.  A walk like that makes me very tired!  We poked around at a garage sale, fortunately bought nothing.  Then we arrived at a shopping mall where S bought a lovely leather T-shirt on sale.  A lady in the store was trying on a beautiful salmon red jacket that she was intent on purchasing.  I had been sitting/resting on a bench nearby her and remarked on the lovely colour and how it suited her.  She told me she had a 17 year old daughter with anxiety issues.  So she took her to a lot of private skating lessons because she thought it helped her deal with her problem.  I sympathized with her on dealing with a 17 year old to begin with, that is a tough age.

A 4 hour walk may be tiring, but imagine the good that it is doing to our body.

That is a wonderful walk! Tiring but fun. You get to see so many things when you're out and about.

I remember having anxiety issues as a teenager. Not fun.

Wow! Four hours would have just done me in! The Aloha Walk takes me about 2 and a half hours and I'm exhausted for the rest of the day. You're a very good friend.
