Yes, I was feeling a little bummed today and I’m not really sure why. Maybe it was the dark, cold, rainy weather this morning. Maybe it’s because I have been working at home for just over 3 weeks. Maybe it’s because I didn’t go out for a walk at lunch. It’s probably because I got stuck on a Zoom work call that definitely lasted much longer than it should — I realize everyone is starved for connection, but we could have really fixed that problem in 20 minutes folks…
And after work I should have really gone for a run like my husband did. That would have made me feel so much better, but honestly, I just didn’t want to go through the chore of putting my running stuff on, I didn’t feel like it.
So I went for a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood instead and boy, did that change my attitude! Just getting outside and breathing fresh air! And moving! I’d been stuck all day at my computer. And now I could see birds and daffodils! Strangers walking their dogs! So much better than sitting in the house, and I got about 4,000 Fitbit steps!
I felt so much better when I got home. And while my husband started burning the leaves and twigs he raked today in our outdoor chimenea, I pulled out some of my Easter decorations from the spare room closet. Easter is only a few days away, I needed to get on this!
My husband is going to be on excited:
And now I feel so much better!
