Who knew walking was so complicated?

Walking presents many challenges for PWP, even on an indoor track or in a shopping mall let alone out in the wild. As hard as I try to work on my gait, I often feel like I’m out of step with the world, or that I’m not marching with the band.  

While I’m fortunate to have a team of three people helping me stay in shape, each one emphasizes a different thing I need to concentrate on. One reminds me to shift my weight to the left so I’m balanced. Another wants me to also shift my weight to my heels so I don’t propel myself forward. A third says to I should keep my shoulders back and pretend I’m doing the limbo.

Some days there are so many voices in my head that I feel like Sybil. My dream is that the individual voices I hear will one day sing in harmony as a choir and I will be able to walk as seamlessly as they sing.         sheryl signature
