A Beautiful Morning

It has been a beautiful morning so far today. I had decided I needed to take a walk this morning, to see if my legs will actually work, so I headed out to a place I had already picked out as a place for a good walk. It is relatively flat most of the way around, with no traffic or other visitors. I could walk in relative peace and quiet. There are nice benches to sit on if I needed a rest and it is very beautiful and quiet. Where is it? The cemetery, of course! No one was up and around at 7:00 am, so it was very quiet. I parked in the outside parking lot and went around the outside, up and down a few "streets" and then back to the car, about 1/2 mile in all. NOt too far for the first walk of the summer, but got my heart beating, which is what I needed. The track at the high school is being torn up this week, so that was out of the question. And it is so busy with other walkers. I wanted a place a bit more private, since I don't like others to see or hear my huffing and puffing. I hope I have enough self-control to get myself out of bed each morning and keep walking.
When I got home I put on my gloves and took the clippers and worked on the rose bushes for a little bit. For some reason, the bottoms of my feet hurt so badly when I am standing around doing that work I thought I would start crying. It happens all the itme when I stand in one place for very long. The bottoms just ache and hurt. I cut out what I could, then went inside to rest my feet. I have a hair appointment at 10:00, then time to work around the house.
Charlene and I are taking dinner to an expecting sister who is on bed rest, so I will be making dinner today. Any suggestions? I think chicken enchiladas will be coming up, or something else with chicken.
I hope everyone has a good day. I love you all!
