Today is my birthday! I am going to get the day off to good start by taking a walk along the ocean.

Walking is wonderful. I was listening to BBC through the night last night and there was a story on the value of taking a walk. Be it alone or with another person or persons. In the story, a family who had lost a loved one found that walking together helped them heal.

I read Steve Jobs' biography earlier this year. I learned that Steve Jobs loved to take long walks. Imagine taking a long walk with Steve Jobs!

Walking is a chance to connect with one's self or another - or just be in the moment - in our frenetic, fast-paced distracted world.

Take a walk.
