Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

We hope you have all had a Happy Xmas and New Year.
Hope you all managed to think about 2010 resolutions. Included in my huge list was ‘to be a better friend”! I promptly failed as I forgot Susan’s birthday and when I rang her to wish her a belated Happy Birthday I had the day wrong!’”
Must try harder” seems to be my mantra for the New Year!
Of course I blamed it on Menopausal Memory Mistake or the inhalation of too many paint fumes from the painting chores that have ‘coloured’ my Xmas /New Year break! When you stay at home for a holiday there seems to be a never-ending list of ‘needs to be done ‘!

2010 will be a big one for Wonder Walkers as we endeavour to deliver more and better info and support to help women walk for personal health and well being, as a way to connect with, enjoy and support the world we temporarily occupy, as well as a way of supporting community and social concerns. We remain enormously grateful to all those who completed our survey which provided us with great aspirational goals for WW.

We also remain eternally grateful to all those who have supported us on our ‘up hill ‘ climb !

Thanks also to all of you who have continued to support the WW site over the Xmas/New Year break.

2 quotes;

“Many people treat their bodies as if they were rented from Hertz-something they are using to get around in but nothing they genuinely care about understanding-Lawrence Durrell

And

‘ My grandmother started walking 5 miles a day when she was 60.She’s 97 now and we don’t know where the hell she is-Ellen De Generes.

And a couple of WW originals;’ I walk-I am”! And “Back in a while -Gone Walking’-Dinner postponed!

We hope that in this next year we can bring you some better motivation and support to enable you, your friends and families to enjoy and savour the” Wonder of Walking “!

Take Care,

Paula and Susan
