Yes, I got a brisk 40 minute walk around 11.30 a.m. I did almost 5,000 steps, which shows you how fast I moved to stay warm.

Then it was a 45 minute phone call to my daughter, and granddaughters in England. They are such a blessing to me. Next it was to serve up dinner, which we have just finished. We are both so full, after eating one of the best meals ever. (That’s what I say about all my holiday meals). I am sitting writing this, and resting for 30 minutes, before layering up for a second walk on the beach.

This is my normal Christmas day, and it hasn’t changed in any way. We are so fortunate to be able to drive to Treasure Island beach, and enjoy our Christmas week. As I always say, it’s the Christmas gift that keeps giving every year. I am truly blessed.
