When I venture out for a walk, I sometimes meet some interesting people…from all walks of life. They could be dog walkers…people going or returning from an errand…the homeless… some of them I’ve gotten to know over the past few years…sometimes I’ll give them a dollar or two, as I know how it is to be in their predicament… then there was a woman who was sitting on the boardwalk bench and I told her I liked her new bicycle…she was tickled pink telling me how she was tracking it online from where the bike was shipped from California….
Anyway you never know who you’ll see…run into…and say hello and maybe a conversation

Walking Aimlessly
early morning
coffee in hand
pounding the pavement
saying hi to everyone
yet no plan
as to where he is going
11:22 a.m.
took a walk in the rain
to the neighborhood store
bought a some scratch tickets
and played a some lottery numbers
now wishing myself some luck
6:57 p.m.
cut my evening walk
its nasty hot and humid
which is not to my liking
10:10 a.m.
went for an earlier walk
shortly after nine
not much shade
damn…I could feel
the sun…and it felt
like being in a
400 degrees oven
so I managed to
cut the distance
as it was too hot
so
as the hot, humid weather is here
it still hasn’t stopped me from
venturing outside and do my walks
I try to stay on the streets with
the most shade
and also try to block my mind
from how bad it is…most
of the time it works
it does keep me in shape
even though the tshirt
is plastered on my back
so…with this weather
I’ll just have to grin
and bare it
7:18 p.m.
weather is fantastic
for a stroll
and enjoying it
5:51 p.m.
evening walk on hold
thunderstorms moving
through
will wait it out
and take one
later on
1:17 p.m.
early afternoon
took an afternoon walk
weather isn’t all
that great
light mist
which wasn’t that bad
Bright & Colorful
8:39 a.m.
sun is shining
64 degrees
time to go
for a walk
about town
1:58 p.m.
the sun did
not disappoint
shining brightly
with lots of
puffy white clouds
with that said
took a walk
on the boardwalk
which runs parallel
with the river
and its never crowded
which is a good thing
9:08 a.m.
went for a walk
now i am back
waiting for the
laundry to finish
drying
Downtown Flower Box
and so
took a walk
in the heat
very few people
out and about
came home
dragging my ass
the a/c felt great
now i’m relaxing
knowing my
glucose reading
is excellent
tomorrow will
be hotter
do i dare to
venture out…
i’ll play it by ear
so
taking a walk
in a lightly
falling rain
does the mind
and body a
world of good.
just saying

Tuesday Evening
big improvement in the weather here, so i took a long walk. the air was warm, compare to the las two days, with overcast skies and with the wind coming off the ocean, brings the temperature down, but it didn’t stop me from pounding the bricks.
today’s walk was beneficial, as i cleansed my head, and helps keep my sugar under control. in fact, i decided to take another stroll. now that i’m home, i’ll just kick back and relax and start all over tomorrow.
Its Like This
Walking, which I do several times a day, helps keep me in shape, control my blood sugar levels, and air out my head.
I will pound the sidewalks in most any type of weather, except when its pouring rain, and/or if the snow is coming down to hard.
More Snow
Sunday, we got quite a bit of snow. Tuesday, more snow is on the way. Possible 3-5 inches is on tap. Hopefully, I’ll get a walk or two in, as I do like walking in it, as long as it is not windy and blowing in my face. That makes it a miserable time… well I shall see what tomorrow brings.
That Was Real
Took a walk in earlier in the day. It was quite a slog navigating the snow covered sidewalks, hoping I wouldn’t come across any unexpected ice. Lady luck was with me, as I didn’t have any problems. The walking did wear me out a bit, as when I got back home, I was dragging my ass.
For the rest of the day, will kick back and relax, resume the walking come Monday.
Body And Mind
Walking helps control my glucose levels, bodyweight and clears out the head. With that said, I feel good about my body and mind.
Six Word Saturday
Walking on crunchy snow. Beautiful feeling.
For What Its Worth
I’m really liking the cleaner air, as it makes the walks more enjoyable.
Last Night
When I took one of my evening strolls, I saw less than a half dozen people doing the same thing. As for traffic, that has gone down too. I could practically walk down the middle of what some are the busier streets in my city, and this is before sunset. Eerie! The one good thing about the air, it is cleaner, which makes it more enjoyable to walk in.
Walking Outdoors Is On Hold
Miserable, shitty weather, means I will resort to being the ‘hall monitor,’ thing, and do my walking in the halls and stairways. The plus side of it, is not having to wear a coat, and also get to smell the different aromas of the various meals, that are being concocted. Does it make me hungry, not really, as I do the walking on a full stomach.

Walking
Walking with a friend in the dark is
better than walking alone in the light.
