The doctor was serious. "You are getting too lazy for a 78 year-old. Watch your diet, then do some exercise to burn off a hundred calories every day."
A writer's life is sitting in a chair. I can't stand just exercising, pumping iron, push-ups. So, I had to come up with something interesting while getting a little exercise.
Our neighborhood has 23 McMansions on 1 acre lots. It's about one mile round trip to walk past them all. At my normal gait, it takes about 25 minutes. MtFitnessPal says 25 minutes at 3.5 mph is worth 129 calories. So that's what I'll do... but at first it might be a little boring.
But 25 minutes, doing a mindless task, allows the mind to wonder. Maybe I can make it into a mindless blog.
Hi, I really enjoyed your sharing this! It was nicely written and a time travel type of experience to read about. I'll probably write a review on it soon 🙂🛩️.
As far as it being a Blog post, let me share some input as a person who blogged when there wasn't a name for it yet
You came across this and noticed so many views but no comment...
I totally get where you're coming from with this 😉.
In 2007 I had a Myspace page. It had a part where you could write and share how much or little you wanted.
(There was a thing also called Live Journal on another site.)
So I started writing and found a cool ad on, called Project playlist. Where you could pick songs that would play, when someone read your " Blog".
I added a counter to see how many views each got.
After a month ( and for a year) I was getting 50 views a day!
But no comment. One day I wrote about it and asked why?
A friend there comments, " Sometimes people just enjoy reading but don't feel like writing thoughts and so on. He told me not to take it personally.
This month I also looked back at Old blogs here on WDC. Some had 45 views and so on.
You would think people on a writing site would comment more but not always so!
Sometimes I don't either, I didn't save it or couldn't find it again. ( I save them on an app color notes.)
-even though we have favorites here. Mine has to be edited after 20 years lol 😆! Too many old ones. I loved how you described the planes and your very clear memory of being two, yet it made a very lasting impression on you.
Hope this helps and glad I happened upon it!
Blessings
