Today is election day in the United States. Yesterday I posted that my doctor has encouraged me to take a half-hour walk at least five days a week, so I decided to walk to my voting location instead of driving the car, as I usually do. As I headed to our nearby high school to cast my ballot, I felt like Meg Ryan in the movie “You’ve Got Mail.” I love that movie and envy the way she and Tom Hanks go most places on foot, because they live in Manhattan and it is much easier to walk than drive. We also have just about everything we need within close walking distance. After voting, I continued on to the grocery store to do a little shopping. I had to remember that I would be carrying my purchases home, so did not want to buy too much.  By the time I arrived home, I had done something wonderful for my health, and had also saved on the cost of fuel. It was such a positive experience that I plan to leave my car at home more often. I wonder where my walk will take me tomorrow! Tonight, election results.
