                  That is a lot of stairs everyone!! yay

                  I'm with you Sally in a little way, if I see some stairs now as an alternative route, I can't help myself, I have to take them. Of course not if it's 50 storey building though lol

                      Before starting this challenge, I used to beat myself up almost daily for having forgotten something upstairs and having to make a repeat trip. I use to also huff & puff with each excursion.

                      At that time, there was also a frequent cussing of the elevator where I work for being so slow (usually because I was getting there right down to the wire, schedule-wise).

                      Now, both have disappeared. I look forward to any excuse to make another trip up the stairs as a progress oportunity, and I simply avoid the elevator like the plague!

                      Thanks for this challenge, Jimmie48!!
