Marilyn, you're right. Walking fast requires solid balance and coordination, absolutely.

I could not agree more with The NY Times! I love this challenge because we all need the time to daydream and explore thoughts and creative ideas. That space is the magic that so many people are missing. It is one of the beautiful places where we find beauty in this world.
