Phil, I can walk backwards much easier than forwards. Wonder why that is! I don't do it in the mall ! Also walking to music helps. I'm better on my bike. Think that I'll try the weights. Carole C - - I like this " Your life does change and it can be for the better. I look at it as the road less traveled. Sometimes this is what it takes to force us to slow down and smell the roses. " Thanks for that. As I get ready to move from Mexico back to Iowa, there is a lot of stress. I will try to stop & smell the roses. nancy v ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
