go for long walks

And one thing I’ve been doing is taking lots of walks. Every day for the last two weeks I’ve walked to the la Montanita Food Co-Op (about a half-hour walk, one-way, from my house), to Presbyterian Hospital (15 minutes one way), across the University of New Mexico Campus (about an hour round trip) and to other locations. It feels great!

all day. I chanced walking to Pass-a-Grille anyway, six miles round trip from Isla del Sol, where I’m staying. It felt so good to walk—down the peninsula and then back up the beach along the Gulf. I was feeling sad, worrying and wondering about things. The walk helped bring me back into the present. Yesterday, I saw two Roseate Spoonbills like this one, feeding in a pond. They are beautiful.
