The Perfect Day
Today the weather is cold and cloudy,
threatening rain.
blustery wind.
lots of gray clouds.
A dramatic change from the sunshine and gentle breezes of two days ago.
Now it’s cold
and
damp
and
dreary.
A perfect day for a walk along the beach!
I used to make excuses not going out to exercise.
Too windy. Too cool. Too cloudy. Too gray. Too hot. Too humid.
I was the Goldilocks of outdoor exercise.
The weather had to be "just right" before I would venture out!
That was before I was diagnosed.
Now, any day that I can walk outdoors by myself is wonderful!
Any day that I can fill my lungs with fresh air is beautiful!
Any day that I walk outside, without the doctors, without the nurses,
free from the hospital, is a perfect day!
