Celebrating the holidays differently. What gift can you give yourself?

Hello Ginger,
In the past I could walk 10 miles a day, so I would go out and walk, today, the feet hurt, that is another thorn, and I had more friends... today, everyone is afraid of the virus so very few contact... I write poetry also, and, in the past I had to go to work so I had 8 hours whereby I did not have to look for things to do, what about you Ginger?

@nannette1941 Wow! Ten miles a day, that's a lot! I also did a lot in different jobs but never logged actual distance. These days, I have to push through the aches and pains to go walking, but the reward is how much better I feel physically and mentally. Fresh air revives me, and the sights along the way stir up memories or create ideas for creative pursuits. Being a visual person, I love seeing colors and all their shades or hues.
We all have days when we to reach inside and pull out our desire to do something that we enjoy. Sometimes it is a long reach, isn't it? And it's okay to think of doing one thing, and changing our mind. I hope you will read the post that @fiesty76 made, and see how she deals with a funk, it is pretty inspirational!
Tell me more about your poetry. I would love to read it! How does it make you feel when you write?
Ginger
