Recovery takes time and patience is required. I think about my new way of walking. One that is meditative. The goal is more about simply enjoying the walk and focusing on posture and even the breath. Actually, there is no goal. It's just a walk. There is no training for an event (not yet), no fitness regime to reach a certain pace level, no concern of speed to burn calories. There is only meditative walking. Perhaps my goal is happiness.
Who would have guessed my whole philosophy of walking would have changed so dramatically during a time of writing a journal about walking. I am convalescing from major neck surgery, $46,000 worth, with instruction from the surgeon to "stroll" for the next 3 months. I will make it so.
