Moving Forward

I had an appointment with my Peditrist today, I visit him every 9 weeks due to my diabetes. All went well and my neuropathy does seem to be better. I'm glad Medicare picks up the tab along with my insurance. Life is good.

I took Gracie out for our walk when I got home. The temp was 44 and the wind was blowing. I was fully covered with sweatpants, socks, shoes, long sleeve shirt under a jacket, a skull cap that covered my ears and a baseball cap, and gloves. Gracie wasn't so lucky, she didn't have on any extra clothing. I felt bad but we haven't picked her up any shirts or covers. I was cold and I knew she was also because she kept pulling on me to keep moving. I usually walk a mile in 20 to 22 min, but this time we did it in 19 min. I dropped Gracie off after 1 mile. I came back out and finished another mile. I had 7000 steps in and if I want to get my 12000, to 13000, steps in then I must get back outside and walk. I do it in the backyard where the house blocks the wind, but it's an effort!

Tomorrow I will pick up a shirt or jacket for Gracie when we go for a walk.

Life is Good - God is Great
