Walking is good for solving problems - it's like the feet are little psychiatrists. ~Pepper Giardino
I don't remember who gave me this idea for a First, but whoever did, THANK YOU!
I really didn't plan on doing this today. I was wearing a dress, three inch heels and an overcoat.I was thinking perhaps I'd be a vegetarian today. I wasn't too excited about that.
Then I realized I was going over the Ben Franklin Bridge today for an interview and thought a little hike over the mile and a half span between Camden and Philly on the way back might clear my head.( Apparently not since you'll see I couldn't even remember what I did yesterday.)
You meet the nicest people in the strangest places. After I talked to the joggers, a Port Authority Officer, Michael Jordan, (yes, that's his name) biked up behind me.
I seriously think he was checking to see if I was a JUMPER! (Maybe it was the 3 inch heels). Apparently he's had to talk a few people down recently.
It took me about 40 minutes to walk during my lunch break. I could have gone faster but my heels kept getting stuck in the cracks. (and I kept stopping to talk) My ears hurt from the wind by the time I got to the other side.
Regardless, it was lovely to see things from a different view.
