I totally blew it today and didn't take a single picture. This picture is not mine, but it represents one of the major things I did today for happiness. I went walking with a great friend. She and I talked about how we are walkers and not joggers or runners. She reminded me about some of the benefits of walking.

- It improves your cardiovascular endurance
- It tones the muscles of the lower body
- It raises your metabolic rate into an ideal range for calorie burning
- It reduces the risk of heart disease
- It is not potentially injurious to your joints as jogging and running can be
