There's a saying that reading non-fiction raises one's floor while reading fiction raises one's ceiling. I think that idea loosely maps to health. The sky's the limit with regards to mental health but a solid foundation of physical health is essential.

I'm not scolding or discussing personal cases like illnesses, conditions, or disabilities that you know how best to manage. I'm presenting my Top Ten Ways to Approach Minimum Viable Health:

Number Ten: Go walk in a glen. Don't dally as you rally to explore a valley. Let a grassy knoll be your classy goal.

Number Nine: Your neighborhood is fine. Do a little labor to wave at your neighbor as you pass them by. On a walk.

Number Eight: You set the gait! Walking fast and slow are both apropos so your tempo whether low and slow or go go go is inco(nsequential).

Number Seven: Take a walk in Devon. This English county is a bounty of sorts. Its ports and seaside resorts make it a tourist destination so make it your fixation.

Number Six: Do tricks! Walk backwards or lunge or skip if you have the gall. Just don't trip and fall and rip all of your leggings to shreds. Walk carefully instead.

Number Five: Walk to stay alive. Enroll in The Most Dangerous Game and hope the hunter has poor aim as you walk away, okay?

Number Four: Gosh walking alone is a bore! Spice it up with a labrador or a matador, walking of the bulls style.

Number Three: Walking, it's free!

Number Two: Get a clue. Hop over to a shop and plop down some cash to dash off with a beloved game. It was YOU, on the WALK, with the BOARD GAME.

Number One: Have fun in the sun! Outdoor walks give sunny D, make happy, and boost creativity. Yippee!
