Thank you for your comments.I just hope that there is a stairway to Heaven! After receiving a number of suggestions I have marked the house floor and I am going to use a walking stick.It definately improves my walking when I have a cue for my steps.I just wish the outside world was made up of steps.

I dont kno the exact med terms but it relates somehow to a linearity brain process. Part of and the easiest part of my dialy excersise is to walk up and down my 18 stairs. But when I reach the top/bottom I somehow dont move as easy and many time just freeze. If I tire from the steps...I get to my kitchen where I have 12" tiles and again I find it easier to walk in the squares. Its been written up and even here on the list there has been some thread discussions about marking your floors with 18" squares of blue tape. Ask and someone may remember the details. Joyce
