Appreciate it, please

I was driving the powered chair up Vicarage Lane. My friend Daniel was walking alongside me. I watched his legs move and the contact of each foot. I felt the effort, even if not much. I miss the feeling of exertion and walking so much. Please, when you next walk, treasure every step, feel every muscle working.

When I lie on my bed I do some stretching exercises with my legs. It feels good to bend and stretch them.

Appreciate and enjoy what your body can do.
