Love the stoic bravery of this, it's all about putting one foot in front of the other (a lesson I have learned well over the past year and half!)

Wow! This feels like a march! I love this! Fave! (I was in the Navy, as you know)

Thanks so much for the Fave, Kim... I had forgotten you were in the Navy, actually. Weren't the females segregated back then and called 'Waves?' ~ Just checking, gw

You're right. It kind of marches. Too many syllables for a footle. Let's call it a 'tootle.' lol. Thanks, Line. :) gw
