“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step,” was said by Taoism founder Lao Tzu and has long been one of my favorite quotes.  I am trying to take steps in several areas of my life to be better — more fit, stronger, more knowledgeable, better organized, and way less concerned with what others may think of me.  I got the Apple Watch right when it came out and it has made me painfully aware of how sedentary I have been.  I walk dogs for a living so how could that be?  It was shocking.  But I started the New Year off on the right foot by moving my feet until I had met all three ring goals … calories burned, 30 minutes of my heart rate elevated, and not sitting over an hour at a time.  I felt so good seeing those three rings completed one would have thought they were five Olympic rings.  I started 2016 off right and did it yesterday, and I am going to do it again today — and the next, and the day after that until it becomes habit.  My steps have started; I’m trying not to get daunted by counting them.  Rather I believe I’ll focus on the journey.
