All Time Number of Steps
Break out the Champagne and Bring on the Marching Bands! I’ve hit a New High in my amount of Steps! Booyah!
Today I did a great deal of my Fitness Walking at Historic Evergreens Cemetery. Here are some photos of this beautiful, lovely, peaceful Cemetery.
I also made a few videos which I will post on my Photography Blog Roaming Urban Gypsy.

Exercise and Walking Goals
In January I was intrigued that my Samsung Galaxy cellphone had a Walking App something like Fitbit. So on a whim I decided to activate the app then go forward with my Daily Steps Challenge.
Quickly I was hooked! Every day except for the Snow, ice, Sleet and Single Digits days not only did I complete my Step goals but many times greatly exceeding the 6000 step minimum.
Moving forward in life through exercise, writing, Photography and artwork.
Walking Music
I don’t usually Listen to music while I’m walking because I like to be aware of my surroundings and any photo opportunities. However just had to share this Oldie but Goodie.
Walking in Rhythm by The Blackbyrds
Eventually after tinkering with the Samsung Fitness App I discovered that I could share my daily Walking Goals.
Walking calms and centers me.
I’m extremely pleased with my walking accomplishments thus far and I hope to reach higher steps numbers in the months to come.

Joy, Peace, Happiness of Soulful Struts
My little Thanksgiving mini-vacation is coming to an end. I’ve been off from work since Thanksgiving and I had a great time being with Stephen and my New Jersey cousins. That was lots of fun. Always great breaking bread with those we Love.
Friday Stephen and I spend a rather quiet day together and Yes I had him outside walking with me on a Soulful Strut. He rather enjoyed it. Stephen had a big smile on his face as the two of us pumped arms and legs strutting proudly like peacocks along Fulton Street in Brooklyn. I did not make him walk too far and we did stop so I could purchase him some much need clothing. So he got some goodies out of the deal as well as exercise. When I retire Spring 2018 I will be taking photos full-time.
I Love My Soulful Struts. Part of my inspiration for taking long leisurely daytime strolls aside from my doctor telling me to exercise was reading the book Wanderlust: A History of Walking by Rebecca Solnit. Excellent book. I highly recommend reading this book.
Every day I tell God and the Universe that I want to be able to do my Soulful Struts five days a week enabling me to not only get much needed exercise but present me with more photographic opportunities. As many of you know I have a Photography Blog called Roaming Urban Gypsy and that’s what I am, a Roving Street Photographer.
My Dad Edward G. Palmer was an amateur photographer. He used to have his photos made into Kodachrome Kodak slides. I still have the slides many dating back to the early 1950s in my closet. Let’s hope they are not dissolving!! Dad also specialized in Black & White photos. This was back in the days of film and having to get that film developed. Daddy had a great day of expertise and would have made an excellent photo-journalist.
I Love taking pictures of my Beloved New York City then showcasing them on Roaming Urban Gypsy. Whenever I’m in photo mode I feel so happy, joyful and centered. Anytime I’m doing either writing or photography I feel I’m in my Purpose, my reason for being. Also the walks exhilarate me. I can feel those endorphins pumping me up! Walking exercise and taking pictures gives me a peace of mind and a sense of creativity.
Allow me to share the gems of my photographic excavations!
