Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

My husband and I took a walk around a nearby reservoir this morning, and we felt pretty good after.  My husband stopped going when our two dogs got old, and I worry about him not getting enough exercise, so I thought I was encouraging him.  But with my walking sticks I made it around fine, and proved I could do heartier walking myself, and what better place than where there is blue water and birds to admire?  Why haven't I done this myself was the question I came away with.  I think I lost confidence with all my knee and hip aches and pains, and thought I was more delicate than I actually am.  Now I want to go every morning out there or somewhere, and get my fitness level up.  Pushing the stroller for the grandson has helped in a subtle way, and he keeps me active.  I don't want to lose mobility, and if I put matter over mind, I can enjoy these fall days and the boost the walking provides.  So I guess I wasn't fixing my husband after all, I was fixing myself.
