Something similar during 2020 pandemic, but 2021 bad reaction to AZ vaccine, now something like good weather coming up, just a walk 'around the block' late at night, with gregarious [luv that word🤔] clothing [stand out clothing] "it's that nerd Adlon out for his evening walk!" for the neighbours, excellent for getting rid of the daytime blues!😆😆

Oh If I was on holiday - definitely do late night and walking !

Walking in the dark, I once walked through Bury cemetery at 5 am pitch black brought shivers up my spine !

The number of times on my rambles in the evening/night I would see a quick shuffle of the curtains "it's that nerd Adlon out for his evening walk!" you could almost hear them say!

Why the tears, are you okay? 😕 So sorry.

Sorry. The post triggered me and I commented without thinking. I miss -- so much -- being able to walk. I just took it for granted, and enjoyed the sunshine, the birds, the scenery, until it all went away forever. I really feel like I just took a happy post that cheered everyone and brought in hurt.

in reply toNothing_but_books

Please do not apologize. Of course this would make you sad. You did not spoil the post one bit.

NBP you did not bring in hurt. I understand these are just suggestionsthat all of us may not be able to do physically. Have you ever tried virtual

walking? It can put your mind in a state of peace as you walk through a path

of blue clouds, the sun, high trees above you, birds singing, white clouds etc.

I use to sit outside and just watch the trees gently sway in the wind as I

studied each cloud and it's shape. After a while, I would be mesmorized

by the beauty and wonder of nature.

Did you ever look up at the moon and stars at night and know that we all

are looking at that same sky bringing us together as one.

When we can't do something physically, we can take the journey with our

minds. Wipe your tears, don't be sad, you're not alone :) xx

You remind me of a favorite book, and a favorite line from that book.

"Je suis responsible pour ma rose."

I don't know what I'll find, but I'll search "virtual walking" and see what I see.

I tried to search "virtual walk" and got nowhere. The articles I read said something about virtual reality machines for the disabled. I don't know what I'm doing... If you have a suggestion, please let me know.

I used to sit near the apple trees at my Aunt's house when I was young.

Walking home from first grade, I remember bringing Mom a fallen maple leaf. She ironed it between two sheets of waxed paper and saved it for me.

Thank you.
