End of the Week and better weather!

Yesterday was another cold day. I took a walk, but it was cold and windy and not all that nice. This morning started cold, but we actually had a sunrise and by the time I was done with my walk it was quite warm! I got my jobs done and then sat outside for a little bit watching the birds and such. I've been quite fascinated by a groundhog that is building a den under our back neighbour's garage. I don't know them well enough to say anything (they can be quite a nuisance). They are quite funny to watch though. It comes into our garden as our long back garden butts up to their garage. I've been watching it gather leaves and such today. I took a few photos but haven't sorted them yet, so will post as soon as I do. 

I'm on my own for my walk tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. I'm actually on my own for the next three weeks as my walking friend is going to be away. 

I'm thinking of going to some neighbourhood garage sales on Saturday. It would usually be a walk day and I'm so stuck in my ways I feel a little anxious when I don't go for a walk. I don't know how to explain it, but I'm really stuck on a routine and I find it hard to break away. I seem to get so overfocused on something. It's quite annoying, but I don't know how to break it. It makes me quite anxious if I don't go for a walk first thing in the morning and take photos. How do you break away from such a routine? I want to break away from thinking that I 'have' to take a walk and take photos, that I'm missing out on something. Perhaps a beginning solution would be to go to the sales and then go for a walk? Not sure.

  1. I'm trying to get into the habit of taking a walk every day, so, I don't know how one would break such a habit! But, why do you want to break the habit? If walking daily makes you happy, then, it's a good habit to have, isn't it?

  2. I have the other problem, I can't stick to a routine. It makes me anxious to think of all the thing I should be doing instead of going to garage sales....it goes both ways. I end up having so many monkeys on my back...I put them there. This year's theme for me was "Free in 23" sometimes when things become a routine, they become a chore instead of fun. I looked at my April calendar and had something I "had" to do every day but like 3 days...no fun in there. I think your idea of switching it up would be good. If you happen to take longer going to the garage sales, you can always walk tomorrow.
