A whale of a tale

Colleen mentioned me on her Thirteen Thursday blog (#6 HERE).  She was reflecting on the whale spitting out the kayaker that I had posted on Sunday (HERE).  It's a
 whale of a tale, isn't it?

"Joy Is Like the Rain" being sung by children.  I love the happy little additions tinkling between the phrases.  If this video quits working, watch it on YouTube.  By the way, I first posted this in 2017, HERE, and just ran across it again.  Did you notice my favorite word?  Yeah, that first word:  JOY.

Walking, walking, walking
— "Michelle English, a licensed clinical social worker at Healthy Life Recovery, tells Yahoo Life (HERE):  'Long walks, unlike short bursts, allow you to enter a meditative state where the repetitive motion and rhythm can help quiet the mind,' she explains."  I (Bonnie) walk thousands of steps daily, like these two, using my rollator.  Since we have been under a winter weather advisory, I walk in the halls here or in our big exercise center.  Often, when people encounter me, they say, "Getting in your steps?" or "I see you are still walking."  I usually respond in a sing-song voice, "Yep, walking, walking, walking!"
