Let’s Go Walking! Join me for a virtual walking support group

I really get some energy from reading all about the walks you take and the sights you see, @ellens. I just haven’t been feeling well enough to walk anywhere! And, today the temps are only in the 70s!
Keep it up!!!

the temp here is over 100, I push myself, to keep moving.

@becsbuddy, Well dang! Becky, I hope you'll be feeling much better soon! Today was not a scheduled "walking day" but maybe visualizing this experience will cheer you a bit. Earlier today, Precious and I sat by the picture window and watched fascinated as 3 baby squirrels played together. They were adorable! Tumbling over each, chasing up the tree and down again, all three drinking from the water feeder. I fuss about squirrels generally because they are famous for burying pecans which once sprouted have roots that reach to China. Have never seen little ones play together and it was a treat. Also likewise celebrating that our 100 degree temps have dropped into the 90s and early mornings are cooler too. Has to be a promise that Fall is coming, right? Another off the cuff observation I'm making is that I've become so acclimated to being home most of the time that although I don't fear going out, there just isn't place, other than the occasional nearby park for walks, that I want to leave the house for. Wonder if that is just me or if others are discovering something like this as well? Don't feel like a recluse but would think I'd be more eager than I'm finding? Are you or any others you know experiencing anything like this? I may just be a stranger monkey than I'd first thought. Smiles and feel better.

Oh, Darn it all, @lioness, This? after I just spent an hour choosing which hat, sunglasses pr, and mask I'd don..figured no one could identify me on my "coming out naked day". Shoot, Linda, at least it was fun choosing the Best incognito gear!

After two weeks of 90+ heat it's finally down to the 80s today, so I had an extra long walk. I bit the bullet and went to the chiropractor. He said one side of my hip was lower than the other. He made some adjustments. My legs didn't hurt that much. Have to go back next week. Not looking for miracle, just a little relief. Hope everyone have a nice weekend.

Hey Rivergirl, be careful in those temps! Enjoy the weekend.

@fiesty76 - Isn't it wonderful to finally be connecting? Husband & I are headed out now for 2 'ventures - walking to the local baseball field with our grandsons, who love playing in the now-unused dugout & on the bleachers. After we return them to Mom & Dad, who are trying to work from home, we will head to our local park and throw a game of disc golf, then go to Dairy Queen.

I understand not venturing too far away from home and since my children are in Maryland and Florida, although I miss them tons, I know that I don’t get to go. I do find myself driving to the Mississippi River towns just to sit by the “Mighty”, eat my lunch or snack or read a book and let my mind float away. Then it’s back home and the peace and quiet of my backyard. I’ve had some friends over now and then just to get in real face to face, however that is not the scene everyday. Just remember to be kind to yourself and find an ice cream treats once in awhile.
