Wow! It has been a while since I've updated this blog. But here I am once more. 218 days since my resolution was made and I have been surprised at how easy it has become to get outside. Alas though, I must confess...Days 211 and 212 were the first time that I did not make my 30 minutes outside. And no, it was not because of the -39.3 degree morning (without windchill), nor was it a lack of time. I got ousted by a yucky 24-hour bug that had me shivering in bed with a fever, preventing me from enjoying my precious time in the winter wonderland that is Bow Valley Provincial Park. By the end of Day 212, I think I had some kind of cabin fever and even just getting outside and into my car to drive to town was exciting. On Day 213, even with a windchill of -30, I bundled up and finally got in a walk in the park! Oh to breath the fresh air, to feel the whip of the wind on my cheeks and to have that glorious tingle all over when I got back inside...
I'm realizing more and more just how grounding it is when I am able to spend that mindful time outside. I am thankful to be healthy once again!
