Wordless Wednesday - Purple People Day!

Wednesday November 5, 2008
Purple Walkers

I declare today Purple People Day. The US election is over. It's a brand new day! Half are celebrating, half are not. It's time for the blue and the red to come back together and get to work on making life better for everyone. The IML Walking Association's motto is "May Walking Bring Us Together." Get out and walk and wave at your neighbors, no matter what their lawn signs and bumper stickers said! Let's all celebrate being alive and get moving to stay healthy.

I’d joyfully wear purple today, Wendy, but I don’t have a single purple garment. But I heartily vote for your ideas.

Hey!! I know that girl – that’s me on the right ;-) Purple is the perfect walking color and walking with friends who are also wearing purple is twice the fun. Go Walkers!
