John and I went for a beautiful walk this morning. I am back to walking 3 miles a day, just a lot more slowly than usual. It’s my favorite part of the day, which more than makes up for the fact that I end up spending the rest of the day sitting because I wore out my feet. Actually, it’s my abdomen that is bothered by standing. There’s a lot of muscle work that goes into supporting my gut even though there’s a lot less of it than there was before surgery.

For those of you who celebrate it, I wish you a very Happy Easter. For those of you who don’t, I wish you a very Happy Sunday. For my blog buddies in Australia and New Zealand, I wish you a Happy Monday!

A scene from our walk, the Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound, the Olympic Peninsula, and assorted islands. The mountains are not this blurry in real life. This is why a smart phone is not the camera of choice for a professional photographer.
