Walking. All Self-Doubt….Gone.
Let’s make it 1,474 consecutive (almost) days on this Cove Island Park walk this morning. Like in a row.
For those of you who have followed this blog (and by some miracle of all miracles, you are still here) — and you’ve labored through the journeys in self-doubt, sugar consumption, electronic gadget addiction, and a pile of other habitual derailments, I feel that I had achieved an important milestone this morning. Like BIG.
And I walk.
It’s a beautiful morning. From twilight to sunrise, a magnificent morning. (You can see my shots here.)
I’m rounding the final turn and I see Cara (a Cove Island Park runner). She’s down along the shoreline. She sees me and calls out:

We were primed for another rant following last week’s diatribe: “Ladies Give Me Your Best Shot.” All the targeted Ladies (aka Sawsan) went scurrying back to her Den (with her Broom). Her replacement, while not an total embarrassment, is on her way to earning that merit badge shortly.
So, there’s one Lady left standing. I asked Susan if I can share more specifics about her OCD, that being her neuroses with light switches at the top and bottom of the stairs. Wally and I got a hostile reaction, and decided that this was a red line not to be tested.
I walk, wandering, ruminating. What shall we blog about today? Is it…
- How I gained 10 lbs in 10 days? (Cake!)
- How my insomnia has progressively deteriorated during the same period? (Cake?)
- Why my Doctored-ordered Glucose test (a pre-diabetic alert) reported an alarming upward trend? (Cake?)
I walk.
I noodle these issues (and others), feeling the weight of their drag.
