Yesterday I went for a long walk 'with' my dear friend Laurie (I used to live in California and met her there, but I moved to Delaware); we used phones on speaker to be together. It was wonderful to get outside -I was down all weekend because (long story) I'm going from once a week therapy to every other week- and the walk did me a lot of good: the getting outside, the walking, and being with my dear friend, who I miss so much.
