Enough already! On both my morning commute and my afternoon drive home, the radio DJ’s were blasting out a litany of stats on failed 
resolutions! Already!?! Seriously!?! Isn’t this still the first week in January? Yes, I turned them right off…but it got me thinking. Who says you need to start that page-a-day writing regime on January 1st or it will never happen? Who says you need to start a kale-juice fast on January 1st or never? Or make working out at the gym part of your afternoon ritual or never? Personally, with so much pressure I can’t think of a worse week to begin anything! Besides, I’m still exhausted from the frolicking fun of the last few weeks! Office parties and family gatherings, meal times that spilled right into the next meal time, or those marvelous martinis; Yes, those… True there were some sauntering mid-day walks and one night of dancing with a tiara and silk heels but mostly long late nights and up early mornings with a ton of holiday business in-between, so exhausted.

migration
Migration is impossible to miss in Vermont when the nights turn chilly, leaves are falling and wind is whipping them around, while geese, high in the sky, pass noisily over my yard. Every day another formation works to maintain their V as they soar above traveling to a new world; their honking urging us all to reconsider our decision to stay behind. I mean, they are headed to a warm and infinitely easier location, while we are left to face whatever may come our way… (Here is where I admit that I have no real idea where the geese are going, I mean I know they are headed south, but where exactly they go for the winter, I can’t say.)
A Brisk Walk
I know, I know, you have read plenty on this blog about my love of walking and my obsession about this avenue to better health… I do know, really. But in all seriousness, I am convinced, beyond all the wellness benefits, that if we only add a tad more walking into our daily life we would feel excellent, be better people, live happier lives, and find direction and determination in the very places we need to find them. Too grandiose? Truly, all the promise possible can be accomplished with a brisk 20 minute walk!
