@imallears I am a shuffler. Have been most of my life. It's a habit. Keeping my feet close to the ground helps assure my balance; loss of balance is a fear of mine. In 2018, when a friend saw me walking on the treadmill at the gym she made a comment about not picking my feet up. My response? "I'm checking the grass for snakes". Works for me, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Rather than whining about shuffling, be happy that those we love are moving around at all.
