A PEACEFUL, QUIET SUNDAY

TODAY WAS A SERENE , PEACEFUL SUNDAY.  AND SO I WALKED OUTSIDE, AMONG THE TREES, THE GRASS, THE BLUE SKY, WITH A FEW WHITE CLOUDS.  I SAW A SQUIRRELL, AND A CAT WALKED OVER TO ME, STARED, AND THEN RAN AWAY, ALL TOO FAST.  I WALKED , AND WALKED, AND WALKED, AROUND THE CIRCLE WE LIVE ON.  WEARING MY WALKMAN, I LISTENED TO MUSIC, AS IT IS EASIER FOR ME TO WALK TO MUSIC, AS SILLY AS THAT MAY SEEM.  THE MUSIC HELPS ME TO MOVE MY MUSCLES MORE EASILY.  AND SO I WALKED, ALONE, PUSHING MY EMPTY WHEELCHAIR. PUSHING THE WHEELCHAIR, HELPS ME TO WALK, AS IT SUPPORTS ME.  AND I WALK, TRYING TO GAIN MORE AND MORE STRENGTH TO MY LEGS AND FEET. TO GET THE CIRCULATION FLOWING IN MY LEGS AND FEET AND BODY.  AND I PASSED SO MANY PEOPLE ON THEIR PATIOS AND PORCHES.  SITTING TOGETHER .  I SMELLED BAR-B-QUES, AS I PASSED BY, AND PEOPLE SITTING OUTSIDE ON THEIR PICNIC TABLES EATING.  BUT FOR ME, IT WAS A LONELY WALK.  AND JIMMY CALLED ME ON MY CELL. AND I SAID I FELT SO ALONE.  HE SAID, "NO YOU ARE NOT, FRAN, YOU HAVE ME, YOUR HUSBAND, WHO LOVES YOU, AND IS CONCERNED ABOUT YOU."  AND SO, I SAID, 'OK."  AND THEN I WALKED HOME, AT LEAST PRINCE, OUR DOG IS HERE SO I CAN TALK TO HIM.  I FED THE ANIMALS, WALKED PRINCE FOR A SECOND TIME TODAY, AND MADE MYSELF A SALAD.  AND NOW, I SIT AT THIS COMPUTER, WITH SO MANY THINGS TO WRITE.  THAT'S WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT..KEEPING BUSY....AND SO, ANOTHER DAY IS DONE.....
