When life feels too big to handle, go outside. Everything looks smaller when you’re standing under the sky.

It helped me this morning fitting my walk in earlier than I had planned after the computer had crashed and things always seem better when you are outside and put some distance between you and what's upsetting you and return to it later on when you have calmed down as that I have done today.

I really liked this quote. It's good to remember that despite anything we are going through, there is a far greater world full of change, and that whether painful or pleasant it's all now a part of this world, which WILL be built from and continue the legacy.

All the best

Great suggestion and advice too, 4woody. Early morning walks start the day "just right" for me.

I set a personal year's challenge this Jan. for myself to go for walks three times per week. Not a record, but so far I've managed and setting specific days for the walks increased the importance for me. It is far too easy for me to procrastinate about some things and since the loss of my wonderful 4 legged companion, I just couldn't gear up the discipline to continue.

During inclement days, I drove to a big box store for the walks. Now, with Covid-19, I'm starting to wonder what I'll do to fulfill my challenge through the end of year. I'm health compromised and self-quarantining so luckily have groceries delivered.

I can set a timer and troop repeatedly through the house and garage (if I move the car onto the drive vbg) but that has very little allure at best and certainly a dull compromise. Probably require changing out the carpets afterwards too.

Any suggestions appreciated.

I don't find that covid keeps me from standing under the sky... even walking... or biking... it seems safe enough even though I'm considered health compromised.
