After Lunch Walks

I really don't feel like walking. My sciatic hurts, my hips are loose and I waddle, and I can't go more than a half mile before having to use a bathroom. But we walk because our winters are long and it'll be a long stretch of year before we see this much sun again (thank you to whomever just told me we upstate New Yorkers experience the most sun-less days in the USA).

And when I think of these walks next summer, with an almost one year old added to our crew, how can I help but not smile?
