@artist01 Aw, bummer about the letter being lost again. Noooo it didn’t show up by luck. I have an idea, do you have a memo, note or writing app on your phone? In iPhone it would be called Pages. If so, try typing the replies in there first. Then you won’t lose what you’ve written. You can highlight, copy and then paste to this forum.

It would be great if you started painting again! Don’t you miss it? I know your medium is acrylics. Have you tried watercolor? 5 years ago I took a watercolor class online. Watercolor/sketching journal style offered by a friend. It changed my life! Now I always have my tiny box of watercolors, a water brush and pad of paper wherever I go. We need our creative outlets!

I totally get walking solo! You’re right, we can set our own pace. Also, I don’t know about you, but it’s my head clearing time. Though my husband does walk with me frequently. Especially if we’re heading down this logging road near us. I hear banjos some days. Giggle

Oh don’t get me started with the clear cut logging!!
Have a great walkeze today! Lori.

@artist01, I get so aggravated with myself when I manage to "lose" a long reply! More so because I Know if I'd just first typed it into a word doc it could be pasted into the post reply. Still, I don't "start out" knowing my response will be lengthy...weak excuse i know...smiles

After my ever ready walking companion, Sunshine, passed away at age 17, it took a long time for me to resume walking by myself. Like you, though, I now savor my solitary walks without music or step counting. My goals are to walk at least 3 x's/week on specific days with a minimum time spent on each. More time on walks and additional walks are considered "worthy" of a small treat/reward. Whatever works, yes? Smiles to all.
