Books people have recommended ~ and walking
Meredith (who also lives at the Crown Center) recommended The Truths We Hold by Kamala Harris (2019), and Sheila at Book Journey recommended The Last House on the Street by Diane Chamberlain (2023). I'll get both of them from the library on Thursday, so I will tell you more about these books later.
Steps per day
Last October, I posted that doctors recommend 7,000 to 10,000 steps a day for adults aged 18 to 50 and 6,000 to 8,000 steps a day for adults aged 60 and over. Last week I showed you this photo of walking "my dog" (Snoopy tied onto my Rollator). So this is my report on this week's walking. On Saturday, I actually got in 12,404 steps. Yes, that's over 12,000 steps! I'm walking nearly double the number of daily steps since last year. Not every day, but it's gradually increasing each week/month.

You're an inspiration for walking! I did a small hike yesterday and was pooped. I need to start walking again.
Thanks, Helen. It's easy for me to "count" my steps because my iPhone does it for me. I'm curious to see how many steps I've done after taking something to a friend's apartment or going downstairs to our library here (where I re-shelve books), or going across the street to pick up a prescription or walking to the grocery store and back, or just walking around the block.
