@repeattofade this was my great grandmothers thing, she would just get up and walk. Wouldn't argue, sulk or get depressed, she'd just walk, go for miles. When she got her free bus pass she would combine the two and end up in all sorts of silly places. @repeattofade I find myself moved to think and talk of her a lot these days. I wish I could go back, do better by her, she lived a really interesting life and it ended badly, as it often does with Alzheimer's. It feels like a privilege to have known that generation that grew up and lived in a world that's *nothing* like ours has become and likely had a better grasp on how to make the most of it while they were here @repeattofade that's not to fall into the good old days clichés that the boomers cherish so much but simply astonishment at how wonderful some of these people were when we're probably too young to really grasp it ourselves @repeattofade I have a serious arthritis issue in my left hip. I already know how I would feel after an hour walk. I would be suicidal. |
