Butterfly Days

One year anniversary!

Today is July 18, 2012.  It is exactly one year ago to the day that I began my practice of taking a morning walk.  I am happy to say that I have not missed a single day in this practice.  I have gone out every day, rain or shine and walked.  I have had some walks that were somewhat shorter, but I usually walk from three quarters to a full mile each day.

Contrary to what I have been told, it does nothing for losing weight.  Yet, I stick to it, and I wonder if I will make a similar posting on July 18, 2013???

Aphelion

Today is Aphelion, the day the Earth is farthest from the sun.  I know that you can not wait until Perihelion!

Happy Birthday USA! Happy Birthday Vincent!

Today I have begun preparations for my 67th orbit of the sun. Having completed 66, I can tell you its been quite a ride. I have traveled over 39 billion miles on Spaceship Earth so far. It is so wonderful to be alive! This is starting off to be a wonderful year.
