I knew I was approaching this milestone in blogging and had been turning over topics in my head. I wanted my 400th post to be something truly worthy of the status. So here it is:
I walked home today from work.
I know, I know. You are reading this thinking "that's it? That's April's 400th post? She walked home today from work?"
Let me explain.
It's been a long time since I have walked home from work. More than a month. Almost two months. First I had a blood vessel behind the knee cap break, which caused great pain and made walking impossible. Just as I was recovering from that, the whole Aunt Ginger crisis started. Five days walking and sitting at the hospital set my knee recovery back almost to the beginning, making walking painful and walking almost any distance impossible again.
But finally we are on more solid ground. Ginger has been home for a week and is making good progress. My schedule (daily/work/home/community) is starting to fit again. And my knee has finally (I think, I hope) healed.
So I walked home late morning, under a brilliantly blue autumn sky. All the way home I thought about how wonderful it felt to walk again, how much I had missed walking, how grateful I am that I am able to walk.
I have two posts in the wings: one on weddings, one on "The Wizard of Oz." They will appear (all in due time, of course).
After all, I walked home today from work. And that has made all the difference.

Walking home sounds like a milestone. I walk for an hour 6 mornings a week. Admittedly I do it with a cane. I used to do more than 2 mi. in that time (no cane), now I do a little more than one. But, still a blessing, I'm still walking.
