The other night I worked late so didn't feel like going to the gym on the way home. I told myself I'd go out for a long walk/skip....But before I knew it most of the evening had skipped away from me.

I decided to order take out Sushi from a restaurant that is several blocks from my apartment so I could pick up dinner AND get a little exercise. I put on a pair of sweatpants and put my credit card in my pocket....and then I decided to wear something else...Only I forgot to take my card out of the pocket!

I walked all the way to the restaurant before I realized that my credit card was still at home in my sweat pants! I had to go all the way home and back again! I laughed as I realized that I was getting a good workout after all! I skipped all the way back to my apartment.

It feels so great to skip freely down the sidewalk...One guy that I passed smiled widely and said, "I see you...Skipping along...Skipping along!" I skipped by my local video store and waved to the guy behind the counter. I thought about the email I had just gotten from Donna about how she couldn't help but skip because she was enjoying the sky and the sun. I skipped by the cable car on Powell Street and felt incredibly lucky to live in a city as magical as San Francisco.

By the time I got home with my Sushi, I felt great! Skipping rocks my world.
