Yesterday, I wrote a sentence about my desire to go outside to play.  That’s exactly what I did – I went outside and played.  I went for a long walk with my wife and sister.

It wasn’t exercise – although it worked my muscles and joints beautifully.  I walked through a really picturesque meadow and then into woods.  We had to climb a short fence, and that felt like gentle yoga – stretching my arms and legs.

Walking in the woods, there was a lot of uneven terrain that felt like a gentle foot massage, twisting my feet and legs to and fro.

Did we play hide-and-seek?  No.  Did we play red light-green light?  No.  Although we could have!

It was a welcome escape from the everyday indoor world, and very playful.

On another note – I’m so happy that my (our) blog is repaired!   Thanks for coming to check in daily and reading my short messages, even though we had some technical difficulties.
