Ever noticed how you talk to yourself when you've made a mistake or failed to do something the way you wanted to? The inner conversation often runs something like this:

"I can't believe I said that to my husband/wife. I am a complete moron. My spouse is going to be upset with me for days;"

or

"Fifteen pounds! I can't believe I gained 15 pounds! I promised my spouse I’d pay more attention to my health. I have no self-control, I'm a mess;"

My front window gives onto the street, and every day I see people walking their dogs. Maybe a half dozen folk in all, giving their pups some exercise. But since California went on "lock-down," I’m utterly amazed by the number of people walking. With dogs, without dogs, with children, on their own, pushing strollers; it’s a wonder to behold, because along with the benefits of fresh air and exercise, these walkers are stimulating their immune systems.
