Standard walks go either north or south on San Jose boulevard, with twists and turns into businesses, neighborhoods, apartment complexes and/or down connecting roads. Then we come back home along pretty much the same general route.
The loop goes south on San Jose, cuts west and north through businesses and neighborhoods to Beauclerc Road, then east to San Jose where we turn southward once more toward home - unless we go the counter-clockwise direction.
Yesterday was my second session with my mental health professional. One of the coping strategies she recommended was to walk the dawg. (Gee, I wish I'd thought of that!) And as if she knew the plan, Grace led me all the way around the loop. 6756 steps, 2 hours and 25 minutes. I told her everything that was rattling around in my headbone. Grace is a very good listener.
