Give Us This Day Our Daily Exercise

Looks like another great day to be alive. How shall I make the most of this day? For me a day without both physical and creative exercise is an empty day. So exercising shall be at the top of my to-do list for this and every day.

Writing an article for this Web site will satisfy my urge for creative exercise. Maybe over the course of the day I’ll start writing a short story or possible create some computer art. Even constructing a big pot of soup qualifies as a creative workout.

There are all sorts of things I need to get done today. Some of them will have to wait for another day, since I am headed out the door this afternoon for some “warm weather” snowshoeing. The temperature is predicted to be a balmy forty-four degrees today, which is pretty warm for northern Pennsylvania at this time of year. My pick-up truck shall transport myself and my female black Lab to nearby McKean County, where there is plenty of snow on the ground. For powdery snow I utilize wooden snowshoes, but today the snow will be wet so I’ll use metal snowshoes. It will be a great workout of the cardiovascular variety.
