This photo was taken in Alaska. From the shoreline, I watched the water, waiting to see a whale spout. And, I wrote a few haiku. But not this one. It’s new, and inspired by my desire to get out there making memories again. But the closet is dark. 😦
Now my shoes carry me thousands of steps each day, as I compete in a walking challenge sponsored by my employer, NAI Robert Lynn. It’s an excellent way for us to get some exercise while we work from home.
Some of my attempted 10,000 steps/day are around our neighborhood pond. Some are gained by jogging around my kitchen island as I wait for a file to download. Some are even marched in place as I watch Bosch on TV.
I’m grateful to be working from home. I’m grateful to work for a company that cares about our health and well-being. But I also look forward to the day when my shoes and the steps they take will GET ME OUT OF THIS HOUSE. 🙂
P.S. – See? I did actually write a haiku about my shoes. (See my “Empty Mind” haiku.)

When there’s no outdoors
What’s inside you must go out
Explore through the mind
Very true, Janet. I’m doing lots of exploring through my mind. Writing these haiku forces me to do so. 🙂 Thank you for sharing your haiku. Hope all is well with you! ❤
All is every well.
