Okay this is the second time this has happened to me and I don't like it.

Forgive me while I wallow in pity for a minute!

My walking partner is MOVING!!!

Five days a week we contact each other to check in and see how our days look. Too cold in the morning, free in the afternoon..go for it. Kid's game in the afternoon, busy mid-day, walk in the morning even if it is too cold!

We walk about 4 miles very quickly, all the while laughing at our lives, sharing our stories, and not even realizing that we are leaving miles behind us. Escape, therapy, exercise, call it what you want, but I love it!!!

Funny, she is only moving about 1/2 hour away, says we are still going to walk, but I know how a half hour can get in the way of running out the door and being at each other's homes in 3 minutes!

Of course... as with my last dear friend/walking partner who lived a few houses away while we had 6 little ones between us under the age 5, I thank God that He placed her in my life for that period of time...now I am thanking Him for this friend for another stage in life. I still don't like it!

Allow me my pity party please!
